This one is just right, a bit like baby bear's chair. :) Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-25972487122724520512017-11-11T19:23:44.842+10:302017-11-11T19:23:44.842+10:30What a wonderful memory to share Cheryl.

I saw the A-Van about 12 years ago and it's perfect for a single or couple.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278810299840471966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-78873683313321900622017-11-11T07:18:12.425+10:302017-11-11T07:18:12.425+10:30Oh that sounds wonderful, I love traveling, and hu...Oh that sounds wonderful, I love traveling, and hubby, myself and the kids have done our fair share of it. We have a camper trailer, I once went camping alone with the kids while hubby went to Tamworth for the country music festival, we took two vehicles, he helped set us up for the week, and planned to meet us back there in a weeks time to pack us up and head home, however, after a couple of days it started raining heavily, and the river started rising (we were bush camping on private property, no facilities or people) I've had enough experience to know when to "get out" so the kids and I packed up the whole trailer by ourselves and left! I'd never done that in my life, Hubby usually does the boy stuff and I do the girl stuff, by I had to do the lot, including reversing the car and hitching up the trailer! The hiccup in the story came when I had to drive up a steep, wet, grassy hill to get out, the trailer was so heavy from the soaking wet canvas that I couldn't get up the hill, I tried to reverse back down and that started going badly, so I just stopped, half way up!! Fortunately I called up the farmer on the CB, and he came and drove us the rest of the way up. It was an adventure, but I was proud of myself and the kids for tackling it. As it turned out we could have stayed put, the river didn't come up to where we were, this time!!!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900993246451486017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-29283791793045167062017-11-10T19:50:05.987+10:302017-11-10T19:50:05.987+10:30Candace it's lovely to hear about your travels...Candace it's lovely to hear about your travels in USA. We also enjoy freedom camping as we call it here. I had to google boondocking :) We have done long trips in our previous caravan, into the remote Centre and Outback of Australia, most nights spent under the stars with no one else around. It's a truly wonderful experience. Can't beat that freedom, the camp fire, the birds, bucket showers outside under stars and the company of our dogs. For safety and for Brian's peace of mind, when alone I always camp in a quiet caravan park, or if free camping I make sure there are other caravaners nearby. Generally we try to free camp for three nights and then one night in a caravan park to fill up with water, have long showers and recharge our devices.

We were road trip(car and hotel) travelers for all that time. Now we have older dogs that we don't like to leave for long periods so we bought a new to us travel trailer. A whole new experience for us!' Luckily we live in Colorado and the south west part of the US will be our new back yard. Lots of dry camping for us to try. Do you call it boondocking like it is called here? We took a 3 week trip for our maiden trip and did okay. State park and rv park to start. Loved your pictures and reading about your trip.
