Our family tries to get out as often as possible, but with two young boyz the schedule it tight.  Between soccer, baseball, basketball, Boy Scouts...well, you get the idea.  On the other hand, the boyz are one of the reasons we go camping.  We truly enjoy the ever elusive "quality time" we have with them.  If you have children, please engage them at all levels of the camping experience - there are so many learning opportunities.  Take advantage of the long drives too.  While challenging at times, the drives are a perfect opportunity to talk with them in-depth about things that otherwise won't fit into your hectic schedule.

We camp in our Coleman Shenandoah tent trailer (supersized the Coleman to a Jay Flight 27 BH travel trailer in April 2004) and pull it with a 2001 Ford F150 SuperCrew.  We've even camped out of the trunk of a Mazda Miata (a small 2 seat convertible), but that was long before the arrival of the boyz (of course!).  Our children thoroughly enjoy to camp, and I hope they pass this love of the great outdoors to their children some day, as my parents did for me.

You'll find that our web site has a decidedly Southwestern perspective, since this is our home base.  As we venture out, we will be sure to include the "Best of the West" here.  If you happen to see us on the road, give a honk!

Thank you for visiting N2OA, we hope you will return again soon.

You can help support the development of N2OA.  Sure, we do this for fun, but having complete strangers help us fund the effort would be real special!  It takes lots of freshly ground French roast coffee and/or wine to put something like this together (note - The combination of powerful coffee and wine should only be done by professionals. Consult with your doctor before attempting on your own).  I shudder to think what would happen if our supplies ran out!  Click on the button below to access the PayPal donation page.  I don't think this is tax deductible, but I'll bet you'll get all warm & fuzzy feeling inside for doing it.  Hey, maybe there's a free decal or t-shirt with your name on it!  No donation too small or too large.  Doesn't hurt to ask, right?

Thanks!
