Read the blog post directly from google here&nbsp;http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/trekking-grand-canyon-for-google-maps.html</p>Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:37:01 -0600http://campingmemories.com/blog/post/sun shade and rain shelter while campinghttp://campingmemories.com/blog/post/sun shade and rain shelter while camping<p>Above our table we placed 1 rope to be the ridge or center support for the tarp. This rope should be higher than the ones on the corners. Making sure there is enough space away from your campstove. Then from each of the 4 corners we tied the rope to different trees to keep the tarp stretched tightly, what a great shade that doubled as a shelter in case of a rain storm. Happy camping.</p>Thu, 23 Aug 2012 05:41:43 -0600http://campingmemories.com/blog/post/Shorten your camping list, use storage totes.http://campingmemories.com/blog/post/Shorten your camping list, use storage totes.<p>July and August being back to school months for many retailers, makes it a great time to save on storage totes. We recommend going for the better quality tote, something you can hold onto for years. Using totes makes it easy to organize, store, and pack in the truck the next time you go. Having most everything in these totes will also make your camping list for what to bring camping much shorter.&nbsp;</p>Wed, 18 Jul 2012 07:26:52 -0600http://campingmemories.com/blog/post/insect repellent keeps the pests awayhttp://campingmemories.com/blog/post/insect repellent keeps the pests away<p>If your camping destination has water nearby, keep in mind we are not the only ones who enjoy the water. Make sure to include insect repellent and citronella candles on your checklists. Here is a link, concerning insect repellent on wikipedia. I like to use Off or Deet, combined with the cironella canldes personally. Have a fun camping trip, building enjoyable Camping Memories. &nbsp;</p>Thu, 21 Jun 2012 10:56:28 -0600http://campingmemories.com/blog/post/Checking the road aheadhttp://campingmemories.com/blog/post/Checking the road ahead<p>We recommend checking with the Department of Transportation&#39;s website for the state you are traveling in. A recent check, informed us of a landslide causing travel to be limited. Had we not checked, this could have caused us to either be delayed, or detoured 50 -60 miles. With today&#39;s gas prices this could have altered our &nbsp;plans and activities. Stay informed, so that you can get the most out of your camping trip.</p><p>And informed camper, builds great camping memories!</p>Wed, 20 Jun 2012 09:01:18 -0600
