Camping Without A Plan @ Scotts Flat Campground

-
Flying by the seat of my camping shorts on this trip. Last minute non plan.
  • Super easy all around
  • Kid friendly
  • Adult passable meals
  • Little or no cooking 
Camping at Scotts Flat in Grass Valley, CA for three nights with two other families on two sites.

Bring the small tent, blow up kyak and assorted cloths "whatever!"

Don't forget the ball for the dog............. oh dog food too

In all the trip went well. In fact I didn't forget anything that someone else didn't have.
 Our meal plan was the best, though not gourmet it went over quite well.

Great plan indeed! I hope you and the family had a great time during that trip. You must have packed up lots of memories during those days. Will you be doing the same excursion in the near future. I hope so. This one turned great from the looks of it.

First Camptrip Review

Camping was both good and well as usual a learning experience.

(keep mud away from where people walk). Rock & Stick Art: Hunt for sticks and rocks then paint with washable tempera   Pine Cone Critters: Glue small rocks, sticks onto pine cones to make different figures. Tacky glue works best.   Hide & Seek an old stand by.   Bug Hunt with a bug jar.   Hopscotch: Use a long sticks to make squares in dirt & small rocks to throw.   Beading: $1 store good for this, I like using a tray or baking sheet to contain every...
