Reading from June 2013

I hope you've enjoyed the past month of all things camping, I certainly have. It's led me to find so many new wonderful resources and blogs that I probably wouldn't have come across otherwise. Aside from a big two week camping trip to British Columbia & Alberta in August, I'm hoping to get a few more weekend camping trips around Washington State on our summer calendar.
Are you planning any summer camping trips? If I still haven't convinced you to give it a try, here's a few links for inspiration and if it's still not really up your alley you could always try glamping.
What I Was Reading & Watching Around the Web
This is my camping, hiking, and camp cooking video inspiration.
REI's new Signature Camping spots look like everything I could ever want on a camping adventure. I mean wow - this strikes the perfect balance for me between camping and glamping.
I almost camped at Jalama Beach once - but with no cell service I couldn't tell my husband where to meet me! I'd love to get back to such a secluded spot sometime with more advanced coordination.
Experts share their favorite tents.
More gorgeous photos from Annabelle's trip to Eleven Mile State Park.
Another glamping spot to visit soon.
Filson makes camping in the Pacific Northwest look beautiful.
Get started glamping.
Where I Was Elsewhere On The Web
On People + Places + Things sharing a drive through Fiordland National Park in New Zealand.
On Bob's Blog, of Bob's Red Mill, sharing camping recipes for Oatmeal Cinnamon Pancakes & Mediterranean Millet Salad.

Again, I hope you enjoyed a full month of camping posts. I'll be taking a little blog break as I head down south to Portland for about two weeks to volunteer at World Domination Summit and subsequently recover from what I think is going to be a fantastic experience. In mid July I'll be back with regular travel posts, some great gluten free friendly restaurants in Boston, and more!
