Well, when my husband and I were first married, that's what we'd do - pitch a tent, sleeping bags and not much else. He'd go off hunting and I'd do my homework. There is NO WAY, none at all, I would ever put myself through that again. My back couldn't take it.

Let's also hope this vacation doesn't turn out like the time we rented a motorized RV. We look back now at the Vacation from Hell and laugh our butts off, but at the time, it wasn't funny at all.

Well I will not sleep on an air mattress. A cot yes. A 5th wheel sure. A cabin? Perfect.

We have a 5er with all the bells and whistles. DH says we aren't camping...okay...we go stay at the lake. It appears that some of us use different camping terminology. We call it boondocking when we have nothing...using the batteries and propane. Dry-camping is only having electric. We go to mostly SD State Parks. The only one where I am aware of any full hook-ups is Pierson Ranch in Yankton.

State parks seem to have electric and a dump station and potable water station. That poses the question... Is there life after the dump station?

Default air matresses

for those of you who like them, i suggest when you are doing something else, to get off the mattress, and dont be too close to another camper, as rhythmic squeaks during the night are quite revealing. giggle.

Oh yeah!! A cabin would be sweet! Like one of these at Hidden Valley!



They have these things fully furnished. I would love to try one of these out instead of tenting it the next time we are there. Hey SD, a air bed hurts your hips? What would a waterbed do to ya? Mine is KILLING my back! lol
