Last weekend we went to a new-to-us campground near Houston, Minnesota. The place was called Cushon’s Peak Campground, because (surprise, surprise), it’s at the base of Cushon’s Peak bluff. Our friends had tried this place out last year and said what a nice campground it was. We would have to agree – and can’t wait […]

Camping with s’mores
Last year I did a series of posts on camping … and then the season ended. It’s a shame we only go camping a couple times a year! If you missed reading those posts, they can be found here: What to pack for a camping trip – General supplies, Cooking, and Other items to consider. […]

Potato Lake 2016
I’m exhausted. We just returned from a 4-day camping trip. I find it hard to believe that we used to do this for up to 9 days at a time! No more – 4 is my absolute max. That’s not to say we didn’t have fun, because we did. I mean, how can you not enjoy […]
Buckhorn State Park
On Thursday this week, we left for an extended-weekend camping at Buckhorn State Park. The last few years, we’ve only taken one camping trip, but each year Little Chick asks when we can go again, so this year we planned an extra one. We originally thought about heading to Door County, but we planned a bit […]
Busy weekends
