We had such a good time in March that we're at it again . . . TENT GLAMPING that is!!! You can read about our March adventure in the first "TENT GLAMPING" thread from March here in Outpost.
This time we are in Colorado at Priest Gulch Campground along the Dolores River about 35 miles from my home. We arrived yesterday (Monday, 07/02/12) about 11 AM and started building our "girl fort" again. It doesn't look exactly the same because we've done different things with our frills and lace.
Supper on Monday night was burgers (without buns) with fresh farmgirl grown sliced tomatos, pickled green beans, and sliced onions. For dessert 'smores . . . but ya' gotta come back for pics of that yumminess!
We were tired and went to bed in our cozy tent . . . more about that later as well. Lots more to share!!!
Thanks for letting us share.

My doggie, Bramble, sooooo happy to be glamping with us. We bought a new chair with the mesh panel . . just for her.

Our canopy . . . "pantry" section on the left and "boudoir" in the center. There were things on the outside of the canopy and this doesn't include our tent. . . yet

The porch on our new tent . . . lacy trim all around. We LOVE the screened porch feature!

| Beautiful surroundings. Love the lace of the tent-don't think my husband will me do that to our tent--might look a little odd when he backpacks with his friend: ) |

| I figured as much: ) I'm surrounded by men. I did find a vintage Shasta for my friend and she's glamping it up. After she get's over "backing it up" phobia we'll do a glamp. |

We had to cover our table and the front of our "porch" with tarps during our midday mountain showers. We didn't get to prepare our planned lunch but had a lunch snack that was doable while sitting in the canopy doing embroidery.
When the showers passed we pulled back the tarps and cooked an early supper . . . chicken sauteed with poblano pepper, onion and mushroom with chipotle marinade and a side salad. And . . you guessed it. . . more s'mores. This time with dark chocolate with orange peel in it.
YUMMY. We get our marshmallows from farmgirl "calicogirl" . . Sharon, and they are just wonderful!!!
Doesn't that just make you want s'more?

I envy you gals being able to do this together. I don't have anyone here to go with ezcept hubby, and he does not like all that glamor. We are going camping Sunday for a week and I am going to add some feminine glamor in whether he likes it or not. He will get used to it. I love what you two do to the tents with all that lace, even Bramble looks happy!! Have fun!!

Well, I have to tell you this story. On Tuesday afternoon a couple from Texas walked by, stopped by and looked . . the lady said "love your set up". On the way back from their walk she told her hubby to go on and that she wanted to stop by and visit which she did. She looked and looked, gave us all kinds of compliments and even looked in the tent. She said she was going to get her cousin to show her and her camera, which she did. They both came back and OOOOOOOOHHH-ed!!! and AHHHHHH-ed!!!. Then they called their hubbies over. The first gal got her hubby to look at the pretties in the canopy and then in the tent. The second gal told her hubby he really needed to see inside the tent. He said he just wanted to look at the lace along the front. She kept on persuading him and we convinced him there were no unmentionables on display. He reluctantly walked over and peeked in the screened area of the front door. He was hilarous because of his reluctance and after he came away from the tent we told him that it was true . . no underwear to "get him". He then said that if we went to their trailer underwear would certainly "get us". We had the best visit with them. And, we invited the ladies over for tea this afternoon . . . more on that later as well.
We had to sit out some pretty heavy mountain rain showers this afternoon, but the Lord cleared it out so that we could cook our supper and enjoy our last round of s'mores!
We had ground beef, carrot, potatoe and corn hash with more of farmgirl Rain's pickled greenbeans. Our s'mores were the last of "Calicogirl's" marshmallows . . and MJF's chocolate with chai . . . most delectable!
Tomorrow we pack up, close the chapter on this glamping trip and wait until our next adventure.
BUT . . . don't leave us yet. . . there are still a lot of pictures and stories!!!
YES THERE ARE . . . and we want you to enjoy the fun with us!
CJ and Robin
