Re: Pat,
That was the very time we were also started out on the road--June, 1970! My folks had an Airstream, though, and my sister and I shared a little tent outside.

I wonder if the Stone Family met you somewhere along the way in passing....a pop up camper and a tent and all that parafernalia you mentioned. We loved it all. But, what was the most exciting each year was the day we got back home and unpacked all the junk.

Good Afternoon
Pat, thanks for sharing your memories of your camping vacation. I loved it. I know this was quite an adventure for the children. I've been to the grand canyon a few times and it is a beautiful place to visit. We used to camp when the kids were little and they loved it. They'd go fishing, swimming and make new friends wherever we were staying. I loved the campfires at night.

Good morning
From your description, those were some really sweet days filled with plenty of fun and memorable moments. We traveled in similar circles back in the day when our kids were young. Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, and Washington are gorgeous states. Along with camping, we hit the amusement parks along the way. There is nothing quite like a vacation that involves camping, fishing, and exploring the terrain. We did it with our girls and it is some of the best getaway moments that I remember.

It is sweet to remember the good times. Such a pity they rarely last. It was probably the same always and was rough on women. Money changes society in some cases very quickly.
