About Me
I'll be the first one to admit that I'm not a hardcore when it comes to outdoor activities, but I do love to camp, hike, bird watch and snap pictures of rocks, mountains, trees and such. A love of gadgetry makes me a sucker for all those things that are suppose to make my outdoor adventures more fun, comfortable, safe, etc.
As a vegetarian, I don't hunt or fish, which also means I get the creeps when I step into a Cabelas. And although I live in Minnesota , the land of 10,000 + lakes, I'm not a fan of boats. (Ironic, huh?) Anyway, these facts are why I'm always looking for new ways to take advantage of our natural resources. Lately, I've been thinking about buying a telescope and turning an eye heavenward.

Camperboy and I spotted a video series on You Tube last weekend, courtesy of the DIY Network's Classic Rides, and fell in love. Not with the show's presenter but with his project. It's been a dream of ours to buy a silver bullet like this (1970, 27 ft, Land Yacht) and renovate it, so when we started watching the first episode we were glued to the Mac for the following 9. That's right, in ten...

A couple crazy guys took a drill to two Apple PowerBooks and turned them into a snowboard. While watching the video, I had that feeling you get when you think someone is talking about something/someone you love behind your back. Can anyone translate??

Hi Campergirl, I like your posts and notice you are a vegetarian. It would be great if you would post some of your blogs at the healthy lifestyle website www.ecobites.com .
Cheers Intouchoz
Married to a former Boy Scout (actually, Eagle Scout), I kinda hafta be into it. It also helps that I'm tomboy--who just happens to love glitter ;)
My goodness! I'm so thrilled to see a real photo of you. I've just been imagining having conversations with Rosie.
Are you into this stuff too? Isn't it strange? Dispositions to interests, etc?
