Lot's of previous threads with lots of information. You can find these discussions by using the search function.

Also, visit sticky about what to do on before your 1st outing. I think it's under General Chat.


Best regards,

We just headed out - First place you hit is the camp store that is usually stocked with the necessary essentials. Then there is always a WALMART/LOWES store close by that carries everything you will need. WALMART even has the food you eat...

Don't throw out your tent camping items - We still use ours all the the time. I consider them my PLAN-B items...

The biggest thing the Tent camping did for us was making the bonfire... Always bring along the Diamond STRIKE-A-FIRE fire starters... Works on any and all bonfires in seconds

One questions you should always when setting your RV us is, do I really need this? If the answer is well we might use it, then most likely it should not be taken.
My wife and myself took over a year of getting it right, stuff came on and stuff came off. One big thing is to have is a little note book while you are rving, for the items
you both think about needing or not needing and writing it down.

Roy, where do you call Horse Creek? I live in Salem, IL. Met a guy from Horse Creek the other day.

Horse creek is in the NE corner of Jefferson County. HORSE CREEK is a real creek that runs thru the area. NE of Mount Vernon and due N of Bluford...

All of my Dad's early ILLINOIS settlers are buried at MOUNT ZION Cemetery in Farrington Township of Jefferson County.
