This was out on BLM land in the Sonoran Desert north of Why, AZ. We love this spot next to Pig Rock in the Darby Well area.

@Michigan_Mike You get a new truck Mike?

pthomas745 · April 2018

I finally have my Tab in a place (my own driveway) where I can decide on a moment's notice to get out on the road. The Lyrid meteor shower was last weekend, and on Friday afternoon I decided to drive out to the desert and watch the show. I found the free dry campground at Chiriaco Summit, only 150 miles from me on the 10. I drove out there on Saturday afternoon, explored the Patton Museum, and just kicked back and waited for night to fall. Obviously, not a luxurious campground, but the gas station in the background has a Foster's Freeze and the family that runs the place has a little cafe. The interstate is 1000 feet away, and you could hear the truckers, but it wasn't too bad.

I also explored the BLM Dispersed Camping Area on the south entrance to Joshua Tree NP. It is 4 miles west of Chiriaco on Cottonwood Springs Road. There are plenty of spaces, and could be a good boondocking option if you find the NP campgrounds full. (PS: summer not included in "good boondocking option" due to heat!)

The Patton Museum highlighted the Desert Training Center that Patton established before moving on to greater things. Checked out the tanks, saw a great sunset, (sunsets are better in the Tab) and the camera caught one really good Lyrid meteor.

My trailer has freed me to do these things: I did not have the skills last year to find a good spot, hitch up the trailer without a thought, go and do and get back without a hitch. Thanks to everyone on this forum!

"Adventure" #2 for three nights in the books for the Li'l L@b T@b, two Labs and myself. This was in Central Oregon at a Thousand Trails. Water and electric hook up. It's still early in the season here, so I had empty space near me. Warm days and cool nights were wonderful. The sun warming the pine trees smells so good.

Debbie, do I see a Fold n Go Coleman grill? If so, how do you like it?

Sharon

dsfdogs · April 2018

@SAM good eye! It looked even cuter on the table after I put down my red check tablecloth!

I bought it at the recommendation of @Verna. This was the first time using it and I cooked hot dogs!

Worked just fine. The lid is high enough to close while cooking (large chicken breasts might be an issue though). I saw some reviews about difficulty cleaning it so bought a grill mat and cut to size and that was easy to wipe off. Very light weight.

Sharon_is_SAM · April 2018

Good to know. We decided that the Weber Q was good to use at home and we needed a new camp grill. DH picked out the Fold n Go. Ordering it as I type! Getting the carrying case, too. The grill mat sounds like a good idea.

4-22-18 in Staunton River State Park, VA, one of the original six state parks developed in the 1930's by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Near the NC border at headwaters of the Kerr Lake Now we have 37 state parks.

It was just a one-nighter, so not much setup.

A short hike from the campground, the Staunton River (aka Roanoke River farther north & south) just before it joins the Dan River.

gymcoachdon · May 2018

Have the T@B out on our maiden voyage. We went to Mounds State Park, local to us, in case we needed to run home to get something.

BrianZ · May 2018

5-2-2018 at Shenandoah River State Park, VA. Our campsite was just a stone's throw from the South Fork of the Shenandoah River, close to the Bluebell Trail along the river.

Luckily, we had at least one tree that allowed us to try out the new hammock.

Virginia Bluebells.

Morning coffee view. Glad we brought two tents because both days were in the upper 80's, with little to no shade.

Scenic overlook deck. Our site was next to the river behind trees at lower left.

What photographers call the "blue hour", after sunset. Since the park was only 45 mins from where my sister-in-law lives, she joined us for dinner.

Tried out the new Weber Q-1000 grill - worked great.

On the Bluebell Trail. We missed the peak bloom but still saw some pretty ones, though most had already faded. A few weeks sooner might have been best.

@BrianZ, Thanks for sharing! Looks like a good time was had by all. Happy camping!

Anchor Down RV Resort, Dandridge, TN, Site 81, Off of I-40

This was an overnight stop on my way to a T@B gathering. It was a back in site, but it was so late at night when I arrived that I just pulled in, and ran the electric cord under the trailer, then backed out the next morning.

One of the bathhouse facilities. These were individual restrooms, with fully tiled showers, toilet, sink, benches, and plenty of hooks. Beautiful facility, but I forgot to take a picture inside

@Mouseketab isn’t it exciting to see many Tabs all together camping? That was one of my favorite things last weekend at the East Meets West gathering at Lincoln Rock State Park in Washington State. We even had five Tada’s! Thanks for the pics!

@Kerouac, did you add that temp/humidity display?

Kerouac · May 2018

Came included with my T@B here in Colorado. Cheap Chinese, but seems to work pretty well. Mounted to the wall with Velcro near Alde control panel.

It is lots of fun!! Sharing ideas, and lots of hugs and GREAT food

db_cooper · May 2018

Got out favorite site outside of Winthrop for the holiday. Cargo rack works great for drying ski boots.

Little bit of mountain biking and a ski mountaineering excursion at Washington Pass. Now trying to beat the Seattle traffic home. Love the Methow area.

East Rim of the Kaibab Plateau on FR611, at 8800 ft. Seven miles into the National Forest from AZ 67, the road to the Grand Canyon North Rim. Behind the trailer is a steep 2000 foot drop. In the hazy distance, 11 miles away, the cliffs of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. 36°26'27.1"N 112°04'39.0"W

Wine tasting camp. Not a great photo but a nice place to camp, and the wine was good.

Great spot!

pthomas745 · June 2018

And, not hard to get to, any Tab could make it. The road in is gravel/rock and pretty well maintained. There were some bigger rigs out there. About 10-12 spots overlooking the rim, and I'm sure there are others down some of the branch roads off FR 611.

Homebodyatheart · June 2018

Five glorious days at Steamboat Rock State Park! We live in such a diverse and amazing state!

RogerL · June 2018

Greenwood Furnace State Park in central PA. A visit to Penn State for an alumni "We Are" event on Friday, and hiking with a PA DCNR ranger on Saturday morning. Well maintained, quiet campground.

Howdy, Stranger!
