REALLY ROUGHIN’ IT
Along with the chicken risotto, this was Tim’s tent.
Note the appendage out back.
Just kidding. The tent belonged to one of our “neighbors.” And when it comes to being a camping wimp, I think I won the “prize.” After all, no one else bothered to bring an espresso maker that fits on a camp stove.

Yeah, hey, how comes I didn’t get any of that espresso? Sure could’ve used it Saturday morning … |

That certainly wasn’t our air conditioner — we don’t even have one at our house! I’d sure have loved a little space heater, though, especially Saturday afternoon. It was freezing! |

Next time for the espresso. But I’ll first have to try to find our camping cappuccino maker. |

I think the tent a/c is a wonderful idea. Seriously, at first I laughed, then I remembered our last camping trip and just exactly how freaking hot it gets in Texas. ha! |

If nothing else, it would have drowned out the sound of the damn gulls that woke us up at 530 AM! |

I’m with Rikki… this a/c is nifty 😀 Can I get one that runs on solar-rechargeable batteries? Oh, I’m a wimp, I’m a wimp; I hated Girl Scouts (except for the arts & crafts). I possess a 100% silk sleeping bag liner, a five-gallon solar shower, a collapsible chaise longue, and a portable bucket potty with a real seat. I know two infallible formulas for herbal, nontoxic mosquito repellant (and use both of them at the same time). I can cook on a campfire using a pressure cooker. I think I fail to get the concept of “roughing it,” lol. |

“I know two infallible formulas for herbal, nontoxic mosquito repellant ” Do you want to share those? We avoid DEET and have good luck with the Avon stuff – but I’m always looking for a better anti-mosquito defense. |

Well, nepetalactone in a 1% rubbing alcohol solution should work well. Nepetalactone is the AI in catnip. Or you could wear a bag of catnip around your neck. |
