Organization and camping

This weekend we decided at the last minute to go camping. We actually had reservations already made but the weather was a bit iffy. We didn't want to camp in the rain (we are tent campers) but we really wanted to get away. So, at the very last minute we chose to go for it. Thankfully, we are pretty organized when it comes to camping. We have a master list that we created years ago and we add to it whenever we think of something new. I don't think we have actually added anything in the last year or so -- it is a fairly complete list. All our gear is in the same spot in the garage and all smaller items are kept in two bins. All we do is make a quick trip to the grocery store for last minute items and then load up the car. Pretty easy!

Any hoo, my point is that if you can be organized in one part of your life, it can carry over into other parts. Make sure you have a place for everything and then once you use it, put it back! On a side note, a raccoon got into our cooler during the night (somehow it managed to actually unsnap the handle) and made off with our eggs, bacon, and cheese. It did, however, leave behind the hot dogs. Classy animal...
