HA!! Found It!
Found IT!! For those of you who read the last post know that I set out my trail cams to try and catch photographs of the new bear cub that is wandering in the trees surrounding our house. Mama and cub come around daily. So, I put two trail cameras out somewhere in the 10-acre spread then promptly forgot WHERE I set them up. TWO DAYS PEOPLE!!! TWO!! But, I was able to locate both cameras. The first camera the battery died the same day it went out. It had ZIP, ZERO, NADDA in photos. Nothing! The second camera I did not clear enough of the brush around it, so every shadow sunrise and sunset, every twig that moved made the camera snap away happily. I now have 546 shots of THIS!!! I mean, it’s a cool log and all but 546 shots worth? Naaaaaaaaaa Rosie, you are right I am the Lucille Ball of Sandpoint. Losing the cameras and…

Well Now……….
Y’all know I have my trail cams in different areas around the outside of the house. I have gotten so many amazing shots. Deer, turkeys, bears. I love my wildlife photos. Well Now………. Well, with the work on the deck and the new roof being put on, I had a BRILLIANT idea. I will move the trail cams farther away from the house where the animals will most likely show up. Smart? Right?? Then I can still get my wildlife pictures. It’s a win-win right?? Ummmmmmmmmmmm. Yeah. So smart. Until I realized I don’t remember where I put the cameras. Bear and I hiked around for 2.5 hours. I found one. BARELY!! Seriously, these camera’s camouflage color and harder than HECK to spot. I can’t find the 2nd camera. It is seriously hidden. Somewhere. Good news is it’s only a 10 acre lot. (bang head here) So, I am heading out yet again to hunt for the camera. OHHHHHHHHHHH wait,…

Happy Sunday!!
FINALLY!!!!!!!!! I’m organized enough to add some of my own pictures to the weekly Happy Sunday posts! YEAH ME!!! Okay, this one I’ve plastered everywhere!! I can’t help it. I’m so excited about it, I mean really, what are the chances that the trail cam actually captures a shot like this?? I wish I could take full credit for it. I can only take credit for placing the camera in the correct position. So from my zoo to you……. Have a GREAT Sunday!!! I’m calling this one Mirror Image.

Studying and Camping – Is it Even Possible?
Camping is a cool way to spend a vacation, but it certainly has its limitations. For one thing, you won’t have access to many modern conveniences, not least a toilet, and for another, you will probably have to sleep on the floor. Despite this, camping is awesome fun, especially if you are an outdoorsy type who loves to sleep under the stars and drink coffee brewed over a campfire. Anyone can go camping, but if you are short of cash, it is a very cheap vacation. For this reason, camping is popular with students, as they can erect a tent pretty much anywhere and enjoy a vacation as and when they get some free time from college. Of course, as any busy MSW online student knows, there is rarely much free time when you are studying for a masters of social work online. This means that you will probably have to take your study materials with you on vacation, so…

FiveJoy 4 Person Pop-Up Camping Tent
I love camping in Yosemite with my family!! We go every May and we have a great week! (Well, after the ‘no-net’ withdrawals that is!) I am thrilled to add a new tent to our camping gear. Check this out! A 3 to 4-person camping tent that POPS up and ready to occupy in seconds!! Since the tent we have now takes an hour or more to put up; seconds is amazing!! I am giddy over this 4-Person Instant Pop-Up Camping Tent tent!! First it fits in a zippered pouch that lays flat. Completely flat! The tent is held together with elastic so that it doesn’t just pop up when you pull it out of the pouch. Inside the door is mosquito netting so you can actually have the doors open for fresh air! SWEET!! Windows on each side with roll up shades. There are tent stakes to keep your tent from blowing away!! Nice and roomy inside too! It’s Got…

How To Have An Amazing Camping Vacation With The Kids!!
There’s nothing better than loading up the car with camping gear and taking the kids on a wild adventure outdoors for the weekend. But before you fill the trunk with tents, your camping stove and all the other essentials, there are a few things that you need to plan and do to ensure that you and the kids have a great time on your trip. Have A Family Meeting Sure, it’s tempting to book everything without asking your kids, but sitting them down in advance and asking them where they’d like to go, for how long, and what they want to do when they get there will really help you pick the right trip for your kids. Sitting down together as a family will not only help you select the perfect camping vacation for your family; it’ll also help teach your children a valuable lesson about teamwork, which is something that we’ll touch upon later. Book A Campsite Yes, it can take all the spontaneity out of…
