It gets too cold for ice cream? Who knew?!

You're right. It is really never too cold for ice cream. Canopener is in January, though. In pictures i see people in long clothes and jackets. Do you get brain freeze sooner if the temperature is already cold?

I have a theory that eating ice cream eventually warms the body due to calorie intake.

I think food is a big part of glamping. When we used to backpack (oh gosh, that was a long time ago!) we'd be happy with gruel, freeze-dried slop, and a cup of hot coffee. No more. We have that big beautiful galley, and we use it. We cook 99% of our meals and rarely eat out when on the roll. It's not that it's all gourmet or anything, but it is all home cooked, or I should say, road cooked?

Our rig has a nice pantry, plenty of storage and we pack it well for a trip. No more of that "3 pound limit" business!

When rolling, we simply stop at noon(ish) wherever we are and pull over and make a real lunch. A lot of times it's in some small town where we find a city park, or just some green to walk the dog. It is so much nicer than having to stop in a chain or fast food restaurant, wait a long time, pay more than you want to spend, and maybe not even like the food.

I am a glamper and proud of it. I started camping with the Boy Scouts around 1960 and have been camping every since. Tents were okay for many years, the older I got the harder the ground became. I graduated to a VW Bus for only a short time, to small and I wanted more. I bought my first Airstream last year and have never looked back. This past weekend my family of 4 drove the the California coast. At the campground there were 7 other Airstreams, Ours was the oldest, we certainly did not care we were part of the family. We plan on glamping for many years.

My wife calls the AS, "our house"...so yup, "glampers" r us!

We are totally Glampers!! We boondock a lot but we do it with style!! Just bought a 28' International Serenity to have even more room for our new "glamping lifestyle"..... seriously... we have a better toaster and coffee maker in the AS than the house! I have hand made wooden cheese boards and salad bowls in the Airstream...yep - I've taken mid century modern to the max with the new 28' - can't wait to put my new Eames chairs in it this weekend!! So...if you see us out camping somewhere...stop by for some good cheese and wine!!
