Episode 142: Our First Moto Camping Trip

In this episode we hop on our new-to-us motorcycles and head out to Lake Oachita for a couple of days of moto camping. We don't have all of our gear yet that we'll use for our normal setup, so we scrounged what we could from our current stock of camping gear and made do with what we had on hand. Join us for a beautiful ride and beautiful scenery.

    Ahh, the joys of tent camping! Last time I went tent camping it was followed up with 6 chiropractor visits due to the rock mattress under the tent. Now if I went, I’d be spending at least 20 minutes getting out of the tent, 10 just to get out of the sleeping bag, 5 finding the tint zipper, and another 5 or so getting out of the tent. Tent camping is fun, but…. Happy trails!

    We slept on the ground on this trip and it was pretty uncomfortable. Now we have some pretty decent air mattresses but it's still a bit of a challenge getting up off the ground for sure.

    Looks like a great shake down. Agreed camping instead of glamping to good to go back to sometimes. Beautiful shots off the lake. The fog was gorgeous. Opens up some new adventures for you two.

    The air filled sleeping pads help a lot, they're pretty comfortable. Getting up off the ground is definitely a challenge though. We figure we had better do it while we still can.

    I was pretty tense there. I was just learning to ride on the highway and wasn't super comfortable yet. The armored jacket doesn't help but your assessment was 100% accurate.

    That is a pretty lake. A number of years ago I tried camping sleeping on the ground again and it reminded me why I had bought a cot years ago. Used to set a small tent up on the roof of my Suburban and a cot mattress to sleep on, worked well but I do not walk in my sleep. Are you enjoying riding motorcycle Kat? It used to be my favorite mode of transportation. Hope you are having fun, stay safe and healthy.
