Celestron’s SkyScout
We took the Skyscout into the desert this winter and it was fascinating! The skyscout uses GPS technology, enabling users to navigate the stars! On our clear night we were able to pinpoint stars, planets and constellations!

Leo Carrillo
Leo Carrillo, is located just outside of the beautiful city of Malibu, Ca. it is a favorite amongst locals and surfers because of its convenience and perfect wave break. In addition to the beach, the large Sycamore trees, the store, the campground, and the hiking trails, Leo Carrillo has a “family feel” to it and we often run into the same people year after year and we have always felt safe at Leo Carrillo.

Camping Gets A Whole Lot Brighter
The new line of lanterns and headlamps from COAST LED Lenser make camping quite a bit easier. On our last camping trip we took our two youngest girls (8 and 10) to El Capitan campground for a long weekend. We gave the Personal Lantern (TT7100) to the girls (nighttime frolickers) and I (as Fire Master and Head of Campsite Security) used the Revolution Headlamp (TT7468).

Sequoia National Forest
The 22 miles of winding roads made the kids and the dog car sick, but it was worth it, the Sequoia’s are amazing, giant and ancient. We settled into our site, #210 at Dorst Creek Campground which is just 5 miles Northwest of Lodgepole Village, I definitely prefer Dorst over Lodgepole, Dorst Creek Campground is isolated, untouched and backs right up to the national forest.

I/O Biocompatibles Under And Outerwear – Wool That Won’t Itch Or Smell
Once introduced to I/O’s new line of garments, we decided to put them to the test. We were sent three items to review; the men’s universal tee, men’s contact euro tee and women’s sleeveless hoody. The thing that interested us the most was the fact that the garments are very lightweight and comfortable yet fashionable and designed to keep you toasty warm.
