Check it out...1 cool book from a generous member...

Postby doug hodder » Thu Aug 27, 2009 10:56 pm

I received this book today from a forum member...DRYVEM. Thanks so much....it's just great! 245 pages of 1958 vintage photos, tips on camping. Topics include stoves...with pics of 17 current stoves on the market in '58, lanterns, folding boats, some pics of tears, canned hams, pop ups, and the newest Nimrod trailer. What a hoot....It'll become an "official" piece in the trailer. Among tips is how to remove a spark plug and use the engine to inflate an air mattress. This'll be some fun reading! Doug

Whoah. Those tarps on the cover are a dead ringer for the Kelty Noah I just bought. What's old is new again.

That's Right Mary K is coming to a camp site near you!!!
For that social RV camper, she serves you food on tupperware and cooks with the Pampered chef products too.
I can just hear the click of her high heals on the asphalt as she brings over her latest menue from a recipe she got from the Martha Stuart Magazine.

I wonder who visits her camp site? :thinking:
