Step 1:
help them find an affordable camper craigslist, and make sure they purchase Torklift tie downs and fastguns:

Found a good deal on a 2006 six pac 850, to fit on their 2500 chevy




Make sure your rig is taller and wider to ensure they can make the trek


Step 2
head for any remote area where boondocking is allowed.


step 3
make sure you stop along the way to enjoy the scenery


step 4
get out often and take pictures of their rig


step 5
also make sure to take pictures of your rig


step 6

Step 9
If someone is going to get stuck with cactus make sure it is yourself

head home taking pictures along the way ๐Ÿ™‚

Positive note - another family spending time together camping is a sure fire way to have the kids grow up to be wonderful parents.

Positive definitely out weighs the negative. Yeah, think you've done a good job getting another family out there camping. Not to mention another great trip report.


I could agree more with both of your posts.
I do have to say though the most positive note is that a "Good Time" was or looks to have had by all!
Great photo's and write up. If you don't mind me asking where and when were these photo's taken.

The real success is when they sneak away for a weekend (or longer) without asking you along.And maybe submitting trip reports of their own!
Excellent work and great trip report.

Thanks for the great TR, even though it makes me feel a bit homesick for my former stomping grounds.

Darn you. The scenery is just your backyard?
I think my friends would be happy there with tarp over the head.
Good job.
