IndyCar and Camping

March 27, 2008


What Does IndyCar and Camping Have in Common?

Glad you asked:

I was reading over some camping articles the other day and came across one titled “IndyCar Series starts this weekend”

Not making the connection between Indy Cars and camping I started reading through the article to try and find out what the connection was.

Come to find out starting in 2008 Camping World will be the sponsor for NASCARS Top Developmental Series.

It will be called the Camping World Grand Prix being held in its first year at Watkins Glen located in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York.

Now, if you’re both a NASCAR fan and you love to go camping, Watkins Glen has camping sites both inside the track and outside. You can find out how to make reservations on their website at
www.TheGlen.com/Camping

Happy Camping :-)

Don’t Forget a First Aid Kit

March 8, 2008


One of the things that everyone loves to do when camping is play hard. That why we always remember to bring a first aid kit when we go camping.

If it’s not the kids or grandkids falling down and getting scraped up, it’s me taking a tumble on my bicycle when I’m out trail ridding. Someone is always coming up with a scrape, scratch, bug bite or sunburn that needs some sort of first aid.

We picked up this handy All Purpose & Outdoor first aid kit for around $15.00 and it has just about everything you would need.

Here are just some of the things in this kit:

  • Bandaids of all shapes and sizes
  • Antiseptic wipes
  • Soap Towelettes
  • Sting relief 
  • Alcohol cleansing pads
  • Aspirin
  • Ibuprofen
  • Tape 
  • First aid cream
  • Blistex
  • Sun X with an SPF of 30
  • Tweezers
  • Scissors
  • Safety pins
  • Ice pack
  • Wraps
  • Emergency/Survival blanket
  • A small travel aid kit that fits into your back pocket

And much more.

So be sure that you take along a first aid kit on your next camping trip.

Happy Camping :-)
