Car Camping and First Woman's Meet up

I met a woman named Debbie who contacted me on facebook and who wanted to create a woman's meet up in Ontario. So we did. I have never been to a meet up and really have not car camped but here we are and it was so fun. Great to meet the other woman and who I can now call friends. We have decided to ensure at least 1 meet up per year together.

What a nice campground for year round trailers to enjoy. Would they not let you park/visit your sister without reserving a site?
actually they just passed a new "rule" that each person who resides there can allow a family member or friend to stay in their driveway for up to 3 nights. My sister did ask me but I really wanted to be on a site. I will take her up on her offer next year. :).
Nice looking campground. Thank you for the tour😊
Your Welcome
I absolutely love love your fun videos! You make life fun!
Thank you :). I try to have fun as often as I can, now that I'm retired. Thank you for joining me :)
What a great setup! Lots of thought put into the way you have everything laid out 👌
Thank you
Looks like a great camper van to get out camping! Will you be going to any parks in the winter months?
I'm afraid not, at least not yet. I would have to go where it is warmer or I'd freeze :). I may try to go to the U.S. in February. Not sure
There is something special about rescuing a dog and they do attach themselves to you!! I can't wait to see your adventures in the van :)
yes he is special :)
Beautiful.And glad you are safe.
Thank you!
Beautiful thanks for Sharing,..m'y futur project next spring. I love Ontario and His people Bye from Quebec.
yes, do it. I'm having so much fun even as I get used to it.
Congratulations on your maiden voyage. That's quite the drive.
it was a beautiful drive on my way home. Going I was on the 401 and 400, not as great. But coming home was through Algonquin Park and small towns, so much nicer.
Camping BINGO!!??! I'm in!
it was a lot of fun !
Where are you traveling? Is this the east coast?
No not east coast, I was traveling to Pembroke, near Ottawa from East Ontario.
Hi I would be interested but not sure how i would email you. is yout email listed somewhere? Thank you

Thanks to you and your family for helping sweet Oreo ❤. He is a beautiful pup who now will have a beautiful life. Your van is great 👍.
Thank you
Vitamin e on sores,eye,and ears. It works
okay sounds great, Thank you
Lovely! ❤
Very nice
Thanks for caring for him. Did you try to find the owner. He could have been lost and somebody is crazy with worry. I hope if somebody ever finds my dogs they try and find me. They get skinny real fast.
The vet searched for a chip but none. I'm afraid he is just one of many around this area that have been ditched. We have an abundance of coyotes here and he would not have lasted long in the woods. But he was obviously starved prior to being left and the skin condition would have been bad already also. Sad but at least he has another chance. And I agree if I lost my pets I would be so worried and upset and looking everywhere for them.
Im glad you have him. I always worry sboit my little girls getting loose and noone would try to call me. Glad you checked
You are an angel or saving oreo's life. He is cutie!!! My daughter rescued the sweetest dog that was tied up by the boardwalk in 2013. She is now my walking buddy and she loves to hike. She is a blessing to us!!!
wonderful story and yes, Orea is very cute and very energetic :). Thank you
good job Gad bless you heis cute❤
Thank you
I subscribed to your channel due to the Oreo story. Thank you so much. Will keep watching blessed travels. Checking in from Texas ❤
So happy you joined our small community :). Oreo is a sweetie and so busy and energetic. He is quite at home now. Thank you
Oreo looks like a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Tri-color. This breed has eye issues, ear infections, patella luxation problems, & mitral valve disease. Please have the vet monitor Oreos heart health. So glad he found a kind & caring home.
Thank you for the info. We are working with our vet to check everything out. He is at his should be weight now and the skin condition is almost gone. Takes time but vet is keeping a good eye on him. And he has decided this is home, feeling quite comfortable now :)
I was thinking he was that breed too. Poor baby.
Thank you so much for rescuing Oreo!
Couldn't not rescue him and now he is part of our home. He seems very happy and comfortable.
Very nice, how did you do your floor? I have a dodge grand caravan and the floor up towards the front of the van is a lot lower.
My husband just made the legs of my bed platform, longer on one end to level my bed. Then I just put mats down to cover the floor but still uneven.
Aww, sweet Oreo. Quite a nice setup. Safe travels.
Thanks
Love the new van. Enjoy your weekend. Looking forward to next next summer so we can Bee together again.
me too :).
Oreo is so cute. Thank you for taking him in. I hope you have a wonderful time.
Thank you
Enjoy your trip
Thank you
you must have some really good thrift stores in your area of ontario.
We do :). and I go often so I manage to get some great finds. I am planning an upcoming thrift haul video.
Congratulations I am so happy for you and Oreo. Let the adventures begin.lol😊
yes, I am thinking of doing something this week since it is so nice out :)
Absolute blessing Oreo found your family ❤. So fun your van and camping !!! Have a wonderful time !!!
Thank you, he is a character and so much energy now. I just wish he liked to go for drives but he gets so scared. I'm hoping to get him past that so he can come van camping and even, just for drives with me.
I sorry I can't hear you clearly in your intro. I love the idea of van tours and like minded women getting together. You have a lovely personality and I appreciate your efforts to share. THANK YOU.
Thank you for joining. Sorry about the intro.
I look forward to my first meet up. Not out on the road yet but looking forward to it.
Yay, I'm sure you'll have fun !
you move the camera too much and to close so we get little snips and not the bigger picture- too much motion !!!!
Didn't bother me. If you ever try videos, it's harder than it looks.
Sorry i'm still learning and this was my first time car camping, meet up and trying to catch some video of it.
Thank you
since this is posted after your event it would have been nice to know where you had your meet up and a tour of the camp ground. i have been watching some US videos but disn't know there were some organized for Canada. living in Ontario i would like to try this first in Ontario do you plan to do this again?
yes we do plan to do another one next spring, summer, maybe more than one. I will let the other person who planned with me know and maybe we can connect. We were at Point Farms Provincial Park in Huron County. Good idea to make video of the campground. I did show our lot which was a great size and they allow 2 vehicles per lot and I showed the lake. Maybe email me if you are interested to join next year. Debbie and I decided we wanted something in Ontario so we made it happen.
Hello ladies I am from Sarnia Ontario. I would love to join you next meetup. Hope you have another that I could join.
@@cr-dv3or we don’t post locations publicly before or during the event to keep us all safe! It’s all done privately!
would have been interesting to know more about your bed platform
oh okay, I will try to show more in a future video. It is homemade, just plywood base with 2 by 4 cut blocks for legs. I first made it for my car, now added another couple blocks to be higher in my van. Thanks for the feedback.
Lovely DIY van outfits..very tidy.
Thank you! 😊
I like Karen's cot that can go I'm that recliner mode , nice to semi sit and read and not lay down. She has things laid out really nice, I wish I had a van rather than my truck sometimes because I'd have more head space. I have a feeling my next vehicle going to be a van , I had two in the past. Great walk through and explanation of those layouts. Lots of ideas for me here Thanks for sharing hope you have an awesome weekend Happy Thanks Giving
Thank you :). And Happy Thanksgiving to you also. I now have a van and will be showing it soon. It is nice to have the extra space.
Love Karen's kitchen!
Me too!!
what a wonderful group.so looking forward to meeting up again.aka docs helper.lol
yes, me too :)
@@karenclements6181 absolutely!!
You look really well prepared! Nice set up :)
Thanks and now I have a van with a new set up :)
Looks like you ladies had a blast! Pro tip from a Chef on the best way to use a cutting board with a sharp knife = Please, please, always anchor your cutting board down with a damp cloth or a few paper towels on the bottom of your cutting board, so that it will not slip while you are slicing and dicing foods. Keep all of your fingers bent and out of the way of the knife blade. Happy trails to all! Hope to see you on the road soon! I will be heading out in 2025, as soon as I get my minivan in good running order.
Thank you for the tips :). Would be great to see you and your minivan !
Looks like you all had a great time.
we did :)
@@mycozyretirement that's great
Ladies we can't hear you.
sorry
Fantastic Tanya! So much fun! Loved meeting each one of you gals! Awesome to reconnect with Sharron after several decades! Omg….bingo was hilarious!! I love the hasika vehicle tent so much that Mel & Lee have…I bought one for me too!! It’s a perfect addition to Van Verde! Looking forward to our next meetup gals. 💚🚙⛺️🔥🌲
it was fun and we need to plan a couple for next year :)
@@mycozyretirement agreed!!!
I made contact with a restaurant all run by women, who would be happy to have us and her charity is a woman’s shelter. It’s in Madoc, so we can have one that’s close to me!!! Likely for however long we want it. I like during the week, she’s very busy on weekends, but she’s open to suggestions and very flexible!!
Such great memories! That was a lot of fun.
Agree 💯
Yes it was!
Go to 24 gyms Walmarts grocery stores and behind hospitals safest spots to park
Thank you :)

true and yes, needed very first car camping trip and meet up :)
