Reblogged from Once A Little Girl:
Setting up camp for a week of camping is quite a project even today. Back when I was a little girl there was no high-tech, lightweight fabric or flex-cord aluminum rods, no coolers on wheels, and very little pre-packaged food.
Our tent was like a small canvas circus tent, with poles made of wood and no floor. The cots we slept on were canvas and wood, and Mom brought along a large cupboard with enough food to feed a small army.
I just had to reshare this camping post. As a Michigander, I can easily imagine how wonderful camping at the edge of the Sleeping Bear dunes would be! Adela's descriptions of her childhood are priceless.
Thanks for the re-post, Lindsay. I was camping all last week! So this week, I’m catching up.
