The car was great. I had the idea that we would do it so we would have to carefully pack rather than throw everything in the truck and not use half of it. However, I'm not sure that the car thought it was a good idea. After driving around for an hour in the mountains, the 'transmission trouble' light came on and the speedometer quit working. No cell service and in the mountains was a great place for this to occur. We took it slow until we could find a WalMart and I checked fluid levels. No problems found, seemed to be electrical. We drove home and the next day the car fixed it's own problem. Guess it's not quite time to replace it :) Just in case, I have limited the car camping to a destination no more than about an hour away.
It's funny to hear the response to the statement, "we're going tent camping". The replies are usually "Why would you ever want to camp out of a tent? What did you get a trailer for?". We really enjoy camping no matter what we use for shelter. The reality is that it doesn't make sense to haul a 42' trailer into uncharted territory at midnight for a 2 night stay. We also truly enjoy 'roughing it'. Fall is a great time of the year for tents and as long as we don't need to abandon the dogs, there's no reason for a trailer. This weekend we're headed back to Arkansas. The destination is Bull Shoals/White River state park. It's a great location and I'm looking forward to it.
There are more photos on the facebook page. Happy camping!
