Mather Campground, South Rim Grand Canyon
"This photo was taken on Feb. 28, 2010 in the Mather Campground at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Snowfall this year has been heavy with about 4 feet on the ground where shaded and only one loop of the campground was barely kept open. The campground loop had two heated restrooms with running water. It was an easy walk to the general store, which is open all year. There were several hardy tent campers present, but sites were cleared to accommodate about 20 feet maximum." ~ Paul

What Style Sleeping Bag Do You Use?
Sleeping bags come in two styles: mummy and rectangular. Mummy sleeping bags usually cost a little more and weigh a little less than rectagular sleeping bags. The mummy bag fits close to your body, whereas the rectangular bag gives you some extra leg and elbow room.
When backpacking, I use a compact lightweight mummy sleeping bag, but when tent camping, I like the roominess of my oversize (and bulky) rectangular sleeping bag.

Get Ready for Camping Season
Spring Cleaning - Are you getting cabin fever? Don't worry, spring is just around the corner. Time to shake the cobwebs off your camping gear, air it out, and get it ready for another camping season. If you haven't done so already, before packing up for that first outdoor trip of the year, it's a good idea to check your gear for wear and tear, mold or mildew, dirt and grime, or signs of damage that may require some repairs.
With a little care and maintenance, most camping gear will last you a lifetime. Just because a piece of gear may be damaged doesn't mean that it has to be replaced.

Calling All Campground Photographers
In November, I asked if any of you had ever tent camped in the snow? Well, since then there has been lots of snow across the country. Did any of you by chance tent camp in the snow and take a photo? If so, please submit your photo for inclusion on the Camping Community Gallery. I'm sure readers would love to see a photo of the brave souls who tent camped this winter.
