Just trying to puzzle out what "dispersed camping" is... Drop a kid off here, another kid off there, wife out yonder.... Could prove interesting!

FIVE awesome nights! Yep...five as in 5. Got the camper in August then had surgery. Was off duty for a while. But they were five fantastic nights! Next year the goal is at LEAST 30...

Nineteen total. About a quarter of last year. This year we had some work to finish on our house. Due to weather considerations, it took 2 months instead of one month (we didn't have summer, just a long spring). Next year, if we don't go on another long trip, we should have at least 50 nights camping.

we gave up camping over the past 5 years... renovated two homes, had three kids in 4 years....finally got out this year.

with the "3 Hooligans ages 5,4 and 2, we went one time for a total of 2 nights in a 10x10 tent. the big two had a blast, the 2 year old was 21 months at the time and needed a constant adult shadow.
the lovely wife was not a happy camperr. no more til next year.

the bad news is no more tents...............the good news is she will go for a HTT. so we will be renting next year. hoping to purchase next fall/spring of 11.
