How about we bring our notebooks with a couple of spare batteries and have LAN party at the next campout. While we play games those with Dutch ovens can fix us supper to keep our strength up.
I want to taste some of Daddee's gooooood Dutch oven cooking. |

So Cholla, whats the poison? COD2, Doom3, Q4, FEAR......
Car camping is all about the food and drink. Your whole day and night revolves around eating. It is the opposite to me when backpacking. Backpacking is all about the walk. Eating is just fuel for the fire. Plus there is almost no other way to truely enjoy Ramen or MH then sitting in the dirt by a fire. _________________ Good people... drink good beer.

Now I know why I don't much care for car camping. I guess I've always thought that eating is highly over-rated as a pastime. I hate sitting around all day, too. I get bored like, right now. I'm already bored just thinking about it! I'm a real party pooper. |

How about Counter-Strike, Unreal Tournament 2004 and as mentioned DOOM 3! Actually, I host LAN parties for my son and his friends. I do the cooking and they do the partying.
You'd be more likely to find me playing connect-the-dots or a mean game of Hearts with my mini backpacking cards with azbackpacker and paintninaz since they brought the paper and pencils.
We have brought a notebook on car camping trips and I remember it being a pain to get pine needles out of the keyboard if they break into small pieces. |

I'd better brush up on the "international" rules for Hearts.... _________________ ~Tracy

He made it look pretty easy. My question is... if the water 'dances' off the lid, how do you reduce the heat?
He never touched on that little tidbit of info. |

Is there a backpacker's version of Scrabble available? I hereby challenge any of you a mean, vicious, no-holds-barred game of Scrabble! Grrrr......! If no small size available I will bring my regular Scrabble to one of your (boring?) car camps. |

You have obviously never been to any of our car camps! The bigger challenge here would be to challenge any one to get bored at any one of our car camps... or back packing camps for that matter! _________________ ~~~Diane~~~

Well, I probably figured that out! It was just that DesertRoux said that car camping involves sitting around all day eating and drinking. That sort of pushed my buttons a little. I am not able to do that. Sorry, I'm just not made that way. I don't drink alcohol at all, for one thing. I don't sit around during the day too well, either. I would go nuts. I probably am nuts anyway, but would become more so! Well, to amend that a bit, if I go hiking for a few hours early in the morning, then I can sit down for awhile. Watch other people cook. Watching other people cook who are planning to offer me food when they are done cooking might be a pleasant pastime. I could do that, after about a 15 mile hike or 25 mile bike ride. |

If sitting around is not your thing, then the only event I'd definitely recommend you stay away from is the Camp Hoomer GHOTM
...the "H" in GHOTM is used very loosely on that trip! _________________ ~Tracy
