Lazy Days of Autumn?




The heat has been oppressive this summer and the skies smokey.  At least the heat is gone now.  School kids are busy hitting the classrooms and the farmers are working hard bringing in their yields.  The camping season is starting to draw down.  







Or is it?  I for one, plan to camp late into the year.  State Parks in Washington offer a off season camping senior pass for $75, wherein you can camp free or for a nominal fee of $10 per day (for power) from October through March 31 and Sundays-Thursdays in April.  Minimum age, 62.  What a deal!  This will be the first year for me....not that I am 62 (the minimum age)!!!  That's almost a decade out of range!

Sign up for these passes is open October 1.  Join me in the woods...by a river.....or a lake....under the starry sky.....

    Have fun camping, Karen!!! WI offers deals here, too. However, there is no camping in any of the state parks in the winter...they are all closed and the snow prevents setting up any kind of camp. Hope you have a great weekend. xo Diana

      Yes, we get lots of snow too but there are some months around that and I still like to get out in November and will be trying for some early spring too.

    Wow I wonder if Oregon has something like that. I love camping in the late Fall and even winter months if it's not TOO frigid out. We are in the process of getting ourselves a little "vintage" camper for our small truck. Found one at a consignment store sitting all alone out back.. is a 1980 but in pretty good shape.. so we're excited to do a little restoration on it (neither one of is is very handy, but we'll do what we can!) and hope to maybe do a little November or winter "camping". Have fun and keep us advised as to where you go! Hugs.. Marilyn

      How exciting, you are going to love it! Great time to get out. Get that propane working as it will be cool! Most RV's will check all your propane for about $100 to make sure it's all working correctly. Have fun! Thanks for the update on your health. Hope you destress out camping!

    I hope to get a few Fall trips in this year. It's always sad to pack her away for the winter! Happy Camping!
