Fabulous Fall Camping Activities–Part 4: The Blues Fest
I know that Labor Day Weekend is technically not in fall, but for many campers, it marks the end of the summer camping season and time to switch to fall activities. One destination event worth planning for occurs every Labor Day Weekend up at Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico: the Enchanted Circle Festival Labor Day Weekend Blues Fest. Billed as a weekend of music and camping, the event is truly worth attending.... [Read more]

I have been profiling fun festivals and celebrations to attend when out camping and enjoying the beautiful fall weather. Another event not to be missed when out enjoying the beautiful fall camping weather is the premier fall festival in Taos, NM, The Wool Festival at Taos. Attended by people from all over North America, this festival boasts the finest collection of wool and wool-related products around.... [Read more]
Thank You Veterans
This year on Veteran’s Day, my brother in law, Dennis, was visiting with us for the week. While Veteran’s Day had never meant too much to me as neither my husband nor I have served in the military, it meant a great deal to Dennis. A veteran of the Vietnam War, Dennis wears a cap proudly proclaiming his service most places he goes. Therefore, we thought it only appropriate that we should take him... [Read more]
Fabulous Fall Camping Activities–Part 2: Red River Oktoberfest
In honor of fall, I have been profiling a number of fall festivities to entertain you as you camp during one of the most beautiful times of the year. The first was one of two Oktoberfest celebrations in Taos Ski Valley. The second event we attended took place in early October in the small “wild west” town of Red River, NM. It was also a beautiful sunny day, though there was a tiny bit of a chill... [Read more]
Fabulous Fall Camping Activities–Part 1
That time of year when the weather cools and the leaves start to change colors can provide some of the best camping of the year. Fall camping can be some of the most beautiful and comfortable due to these changes. Many communities have terrific activities planned for fall, due to a decline in tourist travel as the children head back to school. This can only add to the fun that is possible at this time...

A Lovely Fall Campground
One lovely October weekend, we happened upon the Columbine Canyon near Red River, NM. To access the trailhead for our hike, we had to hike through the Columbine Canyon Campground, one of the loveliest, natural forest campgrounds we have ever seen. Regular readers of this blog will know I am a fan of the simple, rustic natural forest campgrounds as a rule, but this was one of the best I’ve seen. Located... [Read more]
What To Do On A Beautiful Saturday in Fall?
One beautiful Saturday in early October we were looking for a way to spend some time outdoors. We were headed up to the small “wild-west” community of Red River, NM, later that day as they were holding their Oktoberfest Celebration but we wanted to find a hike to enjoy the beautiful color and mild weather before reaching Red River. On our way north, we passed by a lovely wooded area called Columbine... [Read more]
How Do You Top Off a Day at the Spa?
With a gourmet meal, of course! As a follow up to my recent posts on Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort in New Mexico (see posts from 9/02/2012 and 9/09/2012), I must add that we returned on my birthday to again enjoy “soaking our bones” in their delicious waters as I was given free admittance that day. However, we could not leave without treating ourselves to an early dinner at their world class... [Read more]
An Easy Hot Meal for Hungry Campers
Back about the time the Woodall’s blog first began early in 2010, a colleague of mine posted an absolutely inspired post about the wisdom of camping with your crock pot. An easy way to make great meals to feed hungry campers, she said her family never traveled without one in the camper. Since I read her post, neither has mine. I am writing to share with you today a terrific twist on a family favorite... [Read more]
An Easy Traditional New Mexican Green Chili Sauce To Make When Camping
Many of you have followed our recent efforts to obtain a case or two of traditional Hatch, NM green chiles. We were hoping to locate a sufficient quantity to use throughout the year. If you have been reading faithfully, you are aware that we did finally locate an available case and prepared them for use by peeling, slicing and seeding them. Those not already consumed currently reside in our freezer... [Read more]
