Made in America

ABC News has a series going on this week called Made in America.  It's been very interesting so far, but it got me to thinking: Buy an RV this year, it's Made in America!  You'll help the economy, you'll see the sights, and it's a great family outing!   I know, gas prices are going up, that just means used RV prices are going down!  You can always buy used camping gear on Craig's List, or borrow from a friend.  For less than the price of a hotel room, you can drive to a state campground, sit around the campfire, teach the kids how to make S'mores,  go hiking, and just GET AWAY FROM IT ALL.  Get the kids together and go in the woods, it's the best and cheapest family time you can have!
You don't have to go very far to find a state campground.  My favorite memories as a kid were our two week summer family campouts.  My own children have grown and gone, but they still remember camping and playing board games in the tent before bed.  I know, because they will start talking, just out of the blue, about some trip we took once.   You don't have to be the wilderness guy from discovery channel, you can learn as you go.  Start out small, over night trips, not much to cook.  You have to get your feet wet setting up the tent for the first time, or backing the RV in the camp site the first time.  Don't worry, we've all been there!
Contribute to buying and doing things Made in America, and camping IS Made in America, camping IS what Lewis and Clark did, way back when!
