Well, father s day just passed and that s always a good thing for camping men! I had a hunch I was getting a few camping-related things I wanted and sure enough, Mrs. Sacto came through, and then some [:)].
She bought me the Coleman grill/stove/griddle combo and also (unexpected) one of those lightweight aluminum folding tables.....both from Camping World. I can t wait to try them out this weekend at the Gold Rush Rally!
So did any of you dads get anything camping related for father s day?
SactoCampersI got a Labor Day weekend camping trip to Rollins Pond Campground in New York!!! I ve been wanting to go there to paddle, now I can! So if anyone is familiar with Rollins Pond, please see my question in the North Atlantic Campground reviews section!
SactoCampersMy DD s came thru with a folding hammock, what s great is they picked it out themselves. The quality is great and it sets up like a camping chair. I was very pleased, can t wait to go camping next weekend so I can give it a test snooze.
Happy Camping
SactoCampersWell I went the other way for my husband this year.
He was given a Malt Scotch Whisky. Single malt THE BALVENIE, doublewood aged 12 years. I hope that one day he finds the time to sit, relax and sip on it, maybe when he retires.
SactoCampersAfter spending virtually *all* weekend helping some friends remodel their shop (even had to leave the house before the family awoke yesterday morning [>:] ), I stumbled home to find a Shrimp, Wild Rice, and Broccoli dinner, a batch of warm Toll-House chocolate chip cookies waiting for me for dessert, and two *Very Special Cards* addressed to Daddy-- attached to a Coleman " Camping Drip Coffeemaker" .
What a nice way to end the weekend. We ll use that coffeemaker on every dry camping trip we take.
SactoCampersRaymond got a riding lawn mower so he can get the lawn done quicker, a Homelite Combo set of an 18 volt weed wacker and a, 18 volt hedge trimmer, 3 pairs of his favorite loafers and a power washer so we/I can wash the campers (drive way, mini van, truck siding....)
SheBantamI received a Coleman " Camping Drip Coffeemaker" as well. Boy will I miss that cowboy coffee and the coffee grounds in my teeth all day.
SactoCampersI got one of those Front Avenue Stainless Steel BBQ s from Costco. I ve used it twice already and love it.
SactoCampersI went to the Great Frederick Hamfest& Computer Show. Had a nice time selling off some of my unused " treasures" .
What did I get?......LUCKY!![:)]
SactoCampersCAPEd CODger forgot to mention the DVD s he received from his DW and the Sam s Club gift certificate from his DD and DS.........how LUCKY do you think he s going to get when he gets home????????????

SactoCampersI got a Canon Digital Camera. Now maybe I can start my own web page!! Plus my Dad came out from St Louis to visit for the weekend. We all had a great crab and shrimp dinner Sunday evening at home. Could not have asked for more.
SactoCampersGreat family day..a cookout. Best of all a great new receipe book called " A Man...A CAN...AND A PLAN" . Some receipes DW thought I could handle.
SactoCampersDH got a 2003 Ford F350 to go with my new 2003 Rockwood Midprofile Ultralight 5th wheel...[:D] We got a spectacular deal for our PU, one we could not pass up, and this puts us one step closer to our dream of full timing!
SactoCampersI was able to have our DIL and granddaughter with us for the weekend and then our son came back from a meeting to spend the night. All of us were there for breakfast and then off to Best But to get a wireless router and PCMCIA card. After an hour on the phone with a tech person, we were up and running. Now both of us can be on line together.
SactoCampersI got a wonderful camping trip at the Basalt Campground (San Luis Resevoir),a California State Parks t-shirt,and a great salsa verde dinner out, at Cilantros in Watsonville,Ca.
SactoCampersDW got me a Coleman 1850 Generator[:)]. She would get cold when the battery would run dead this last spring. Now we are definitely ready for a week of dry camping in our PU.
SactoCampersGot to go camping for the first time in my brand new PU. Boy howdee, did I have a great time. Went to MD s eastern shore. The bugs were thick, but a good time was had by all. Now I m hooked.
SactoCampersWe have our PU decorated in Lighthouses (this is Michigan don t ja know) and so the DW got a set of porcelin Lighthouse dishes. I m the one who likes lighthouse but porcelin for a PU?[:@] The kids brought me to Olive Garden and then later DW brought on gifts #2 and 3. Stuff from Lovers Lane.[;)] Which also tied in with our anniversary today....24 years.[:)]
SactoCampersI got to go camping at the Beach at Seacliff.
the Camphost came by very early, and left a See s candy and a Happy Father s Day card on all the trailers[:D]
Can t wait to try out Sacto s new Coleman grill/stove/griddle combo, and his new aluminum table next weekend at the Gold Rush Rally, along with Ab Divers and ckkevin s coffee, and some tri-tip from nick s BBQ[;)]
