TOAST MARSHMALLOWS, BUT LEAVE YOUR FIREWOOD HOME
By Glenn Rosenholm, U.S. Forest Service Northeastern Area As campers, you might have heard recently about how moving firewood long distance serves to rapidly speed up the spread of exotic invasive insects and pathogens. Invasive pests typically spread on their own only a short distance each year. Someone moving infested firewood in a vehicle, though, might spread forest-harming pests hundreds of miles in a single day. To reduce the risk of invasive pests harming our beautiful native woodlands, including those near campgrounds, officials are discouraging campers from moving firewood more than a few miles from home to camp and visa versa. Instead, they recommend people either buy or gather wood locally, then burn it completely. “There is a great potential to spread many pests through the movement of firewood,” said Massachusetts Dept. of Conservation Forest health Program Leader Charlie Burnham. “Our Firewood motto is ‘Buy locally, burn locally.’” Another important reason for leaving firewood at home these days is to avoid potential fines and legal problems. Problems can arise when people move firewood from one state to another, passing through a state with strict firewood regulations in place. As regulated pests such as the emerald ash borer and Asian long horned beetle spread into new areas, more states are issuing restrictions prohibiting the movement of firewood within and around their borders. When it comes to reducing the human-caused spread of invasive insects, limiting firewood movement is the key. If there is firewood available for us to use at the campground, by all means use it. If not, consider buying firewood from a local firewood supplier. Even if the locally supplied firewood becomes infested, it will only have moved a few miles, not several hundred. Firewood itself is not the problem. Instead, it’s the potentially harmful insects and pathogens often lying hidden underneath the bark, sometimes deep in the wood, that are the real concern. Most firewood infestations go undetected to the untrained eye. Firewood in this case simply serves as an accidental conveyance for moving forest-harming bugs. The crux of the issue then is not about burning wood or making campfires; it’s about moving tree-damaging insects and pathogens long distance and the potential harm that does to our forests. So please, go on making campfires like always, sing songs and tell scary stories around the fire. By all means have a yummy, sticky campfire-roasted marshmallow. In fact, have two while you’re at it; they’re small. Just keep the firewood local. By doing that, you’re helping to reduce the spread of invasive insects and pathogens and keep our forests scenic and healthy for generations to come.

App-y Travels – 5 Great Camping Apps
Evanne Schmarder, RVCookingShow.com The desire to get away from it all and spend quality time with loved ones might mean putting the kibosh on emailing the office when on vacation, but take a smartphone or tablet camping and you’ll have a veritable digital Swiss Army Knife at your disposal. With the explosion of mobile device ownership, a wealth of low or no cost, useful, and fun apps have become available to connected campers. Here are five fine apps that you can use to make your outdoor adventure more rewarding: 1. GasBuddy – No longer must you wonder where the best fuel prices can be found. Download this free app and you’ll be able to search for all fuel grades - including diesel - based upon proximity or by specific locations. Results can be seen in a list or map format and can be sorted by distance or price. After benefitting once or twice you might even want to help fellow travelers by reporting current fuel prices as you roll down the road. 2. Sky Gazers – Deep dark nights around the campground lend themselves to star gazing and it’s a given to cast our gaze to the heavens and ponder the millions of twinkling lights in the sky. Using the free SkyView app for iPhone or free Sky Map for Android, point your phone toward the sky and it will identify constellations, stars, and even satellites plus provide interesting information about what you are seeing. 3. iHandy Level Free – One of the first things we RVers do when we get into our campsite is level our rig. Calibrate iHandy Level Free before leaving home and you’ll have a leveling tool on your belt, convenient and ready to use. 4. Tiny Flashlight – Whether you need a light to accompany you on an evening stroll, as a bedside or reading light, to help you pinpoint an item in your bag, or as an emergency light on the road, the Tiny Flashlight app is one of the most popular flashlight apps available today. A recent upgrade to both the iPhone (.99) and the Android (free) versions is shake on/shake off, allowing you quick, easy access to light when you need it most. 5. Audubon Mobile Apps – For years, Audubon has been putting the “great” in the great outdoors with their comprehensive nature guides and have now made them available to mobile users. From reptiles to butterflies, wildflowers to trees these useful apps run .99 to $19.99 and offer photos, range maps, and even animal sounds – including bird calls – in the palm of your hand. BONUS – No one will be asking “are we there yet?” with the License Plate Travel Game, suggested for children 7 and up. The app version, available for both iPhone (.99) and Android (.99), of this classic car game keeps score, allows families to play as teams or individuals, and saves results so games can continue throughout a single trip over many trips. Embrace Smart Technology Let today’s amazing technology enhance your camping experience. Not only are these apps practical but they are full of stealth educational opportunities for the whole family. Visit your app store and download these nifty apps. You’ll be mighty app-y you did!

Traveling With Pets
The campgrounds listed in this guide that welcome pets do so because they realize that a pet is part of the family. While most campers travel with well-mannered dogs, unfortunately a few dog owners lack the social graces of good manners when it comes to “petiquette”. To make sure you’re not one of them, please avoid the following: • Allowing pets to roam freely around the campground or site • Leaving pets unattended at your site (when they get lonely they bark) • Not picking up after your pet • Bringing pets to pool/beach area
We do recommend bringing your pet immunization records and current rabies certification.

3 Secret RV Kitchen Tips + Recipes
Evanne Schmarder, RVCookingShow.com Enjoying quality time together, making memories that last a lifetime, and sharing special experiences are what camping trips are made of. Preparing and sharing simple and delicious meals is a big part of that equation. With a little bit of planning, a few tools of the (camp kitchen) trade, and some basic know-how, you can serve dishes that are simple yet remarkable. Secret RV Kitchen Tip 1 + Marinade Recipe Consider a delightful dinner featuring garlic-marinated shrimp on skewers, flavorful chicken kabobs, or a tender pork lion, cooked to perfection on the grill. In my RV kitchen, the secret to making these dishes stand out is marinating the meat or seafood in a zip top bag overnight, mixing and matching spices and liquids with my main dish. Whip up this favorite RV Cooking Show marinade in a large zip top bag, mix well and add meat or seafood: 3 tablespoons each of dry jerk seasoning and canola oil, 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar. Secret RV Kitchen Tip 2 + Spicy Condiment Recipe What goes better with perfectly grilled burgers than crisp hot fries? This secret RV kitchen tip will have you rethinking the drive-thru and craving fresh fries from your grill. Make it happen by cooking regular or sweet potatoes in the microwave or in boiling water until soft but not cooked through (you can do this at home). Cut them into wedges, brush with either olive or canola oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh chopped herbs and grill on all sides until cooked to perfection. Serve them with a spicy dip of mayo, Sriracha Hot Sauce, and a small squeeze of lemon. Trust me, they’ll be a hit! Secret RV Kitchen Tip 3 + Yankee Pot Roast Recipe Want to serve a meal that tastes like you were in the kitchen all day but you know better? Then pack my old RV kitchen workhorse, the crockpot, with your camping gear. One of my most productive secret RV kitchen tips, do a little front-end work at the start of the day and you’ll be richly rewarded when it’s time to get dinner on the picnic table. Always a winner and an easy one-dish dinner, may I interest you in Crockpot Yankee Pot Roast? While there are endless variations on the recipe, I offer this basic recipe that you can customize to your liking. In a crockpot combine: 3 pound chuck roast 6-8 sprigs of fresh thyme 3 onions, sliced 1-15 oz can of crushed tomatoes 6-8 carrots, roughly chopped 1 cup of dry red wine 3 ribs of celery, roughly chopped 2 cans of low-sodium beef broth 1 pound of potatoes, chunked 1 teaspoon of black pepper 6 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped 1/8 teaspoon of salt Cook on low 8-9 hours or on high 4-5 hours or until the roast is fall-apart tender. Serve with fresh crusty bread. Go Camping and Go Gourmet Eating well when you go camping is not only an unexpected pleasure but it enhances the entire experience. At the RV Cooking Show we believe in meals as memory makers and simple dishes as souvenirs. Create recipes that bring back those wonderful outdoor adventure memories anytime of the year. Can you taste your next camping trip? Chances are it’s delicious!

VISITOR FEES
While camping in our parks, we understand that you may want to invite friends and family. As park owners, we realize that your visitors may be our next camping guests. We strive to provide you with facilities that can accommodate the number of sites in our park. With the added visitors, we may experience the need for more staff on duty, higher utility usage and it can create strains on restrooms, pools, and other facilities.

TOAST MARSHMALLOWS, BUT LEAVE YOUR FIREWOOD HOME
By Glenn Rosenholm, U.S. Forest Service Northeastern Area As campers, you might have heard recently about how moving firewood long distance serves to rapidly speed up the spread of exotic invasive insects and pathogens. Invasive pests typically spread on their own only a short distance each year. Someone moving infested firewood in a vehicle, though, might spread forest-harming pests hundreds of miles in a single day. To reduce the risk of invasive pests harming our beautiful native woodlands, including those near campgrounds, officials are discouraging campers from moving firewood more than a few miles from home to camp and visa versa. Instead, they recommend people either buy or gather wood locally, then burn it completely. “There is a great potential to spread many pests through the movement of firewood,” said Massachusetts Dept. of Conservation Forest health Program Leader Charlie Burnham. “Our Firewood motto is ‘Buy locally, burn locally.’” Another important reason for leaving firewood at home these days is to avoid potential fines and legal problems. Problems can arise when people move firewood from one state to another, passing through a state with strict firewood regulations in place. As regulated pests such as the emerald ash borer and Asian long horned beetle spread into new areas, more states are issuing restrictions prohibiting the movement of firewood within and around their borders. When it comes to reducing the human-caused spread of invasive insects, limiting firewood movement is the key. If there is firewood available for us to use at the campground, by all means use it. If not, consider buying firewood from a local firewood supplier. Even if the locally supplied firewood becomes infested, it will only have moved a few miles, not several hundred. Firewood itself is not the problem. Instead, it’s the potentially harmful insects and pathogens often lying hidden underneath the bark, sometimes deep in the wood, that are the real concern. Most firewood infestations go undetected to the untrained eye. Firewood in this case simply serves as an accidental conveyance for moving forest-harming bugs. The crux of the issue then is not about burning wood or making campfires; it’s about moving tree-damaging insects and pathogens long distance and the potential harm that does to our forests. So please, go on making campfires like always, sing songs and tell scary stories around the fire. By all means have a yummy, sticky campfire-roasted marshmallow. In fact, have two while you’re at it; they’re small. Just keep the firewood local. By doing that, you’re helping to reduce the spread of invasive insects and pathogens and keep our forests scenic and healthy for generations to come.

App-y Travels – 5 Great Camping Apps
Evanne Schmarder, RVCookingShow.com The desire to get away from it all and spend quality time with loved ones might mean putting the kibosh on emailing the office when on vacation, but take a smartphone or tablet camping and you’ll have a veritable digital Swiss Army Knife at your disposal. With the explosion of mobile device ownership, a wealth of low or no cost, useful, and fun apps have become available to connected campers. Here are five fine apps that you can use to make your outdoor adventure more rewarding: 1. GasBuddy – No longer must you wonder where the best fuel prices can be found. Download this free app and you’ll be able to search for all fuel grades - including diesel - based upon proximity or by specific locations. Results can be seen in a list or map format and can be sorted by distance or price. After benefitting once or twice you might even want to help fellow travelers by reporting current fuel prices as you roll down the road. 2. Sky Gazers – Deep dark nights around the campground lend themselves to star gazing and it’s a given to cast our gaze to the heavens and ponder the millions of twinkling lights in the sky. Using the free SkyView app for iPhone or free Sky Map for Android, point your phone toward the sky and it will identify constellations, stars, and even satellites plus provide interesting information about what you are seeing. 3. iHandy Level Free – One of the first things we RVers do when we get into our campsite is level our rig. Calibrate iHandy Level Free before leaving home and you’ll have a leveling tool on your belt, convenient and ready to use. 4. Tiny Flashlight – Whether you need a light to accompany you on an evening stroll, as a bedside or reading light, to help you pinpoint an item in your bag, or as an emergency light on the road, the Tiny Flashlight app is one of the most popular flashlight apps available today. A recent upgrade to both the iPhone (.99) and the Android (free) versions is shake on/shake off, allowing you quick, easy access to light when you need it most. 5. Audubon Mobile Apps – For years, Audubon has been putting the “great” in the great outdoors with their comprehensive nature guides and have now made them available to mobile users. From reptiles to butterflies, wildflowers to trees these useful apps run .99 to $19.99 and offer photos, range maps, and even animal sounds – including bird calls – in the palm of your hand. BONUS – No one will be asking “are we there yet?” with the License Plate Travel Game, suggested for children 7 and up. The app version, available for both iPhone (.99) and Android (.99), of this classic car game keeps score, allows families to play as teams or individuals, and saves results so games can continue throughout a single trip over many trips. Embrace Smart Technology Let today’s amazing technology enhance your camping experience. Not only are these apps practical but they are full of stealth educational opportunities for the whole family. Visit your app store and download these nifty apps. You’ll be mighty app-y you did!

Traveling With Pets
The campgrounds listed in this guide that welcome pets do so because they realize that a pet is part of the family. While most campers travel with well-mannered dogs, unfortunately a few dog owners lack the social graces of good manners when it comes to “petiquette”. To make sure you’re not one of them, please avoid the following: • Allowing pets to roam freely around the campground or site • Leaving pets unattended at your site (when they get lonely they bark) • Not picking up after your pet • Bringing pets to pool/beach area
We do recommend bringing your pet immunization records and current rabies certification.

3 Secret RV Kitchen Tips + Recipes
Evanne Schmarder, RVCookingShow.com Enjoying quality time together, making memories that last a lifetime, and sharing special experiences are what camping trips are made of. Preparing and sharing simple and delicious meals is a big part of that equation. With a little bit of planning, a few tools of the (camp kitchen) trade, and some basic know-how, you can serve dishes that are simple yet remarkable. Secret RV Kitchen Tip 1 + Marinade Recipe Consider a delightful dinner featuring garlic-marinated shrimp on skewers, flavorful chicken kabobs, or a tender pork lion, cooked to perfection on the grill. In my RV kitchen, the secret to making these dishes stand out is marinating the meat or seafood in a zip top bag overnight, mixing and matching spices and liquids with my main dish. Whip up this favorite RV Cooking Show marinade in a large zip top bag, mix well and add meat or seafood: 3 tablespoons each of dry jerk seasoning and canola oil, 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar. Secret RV Kitchen Tip 2 + Spicy Condiment Recipe What goes better with perfectly grilled burgers than crisp hot fries? This secret RV kitchen tip will have you rethinking the drive-thru and craving fresh fries from your grill. Make it happen by cooking regular or sweet potatoes in the microwave or in boiling water until soft but not cooked through (you can do this at home). Cut them into wedges, brush with either olive or canola oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh chopped herbs and grill on all sides until cooked to perfection. Serve them with a spicy dip of mayo, Sriracha Hot Sauce, and a small squeeze of lemon. Trust me, they’ll be a hit! Secret RV Kitchen Tip 3 + Yankee Pot Roast Recipe Want to serve a meal that tastes like you were in the kitchen all day but you know better? Then pack my old RV kitchen workhorse, the crockpot, with your camping gear. One of my most productive secret RV kitchen tips, do a little front-end work at the start of the day and you’ll be richly rewarded when it’s time to get dinner on the picnic table. Always a winner and an easy one-dish dinner, may I interest you in Crockpot Yankee Pot Roast? While there are endless variations on the recipe, I offer this basic recipe that you can customize to your liking. In a crockpot combine: 3 pound chuck roast 6-8 sprigs of fresh thyme 3 onions, sliced 1-15 oz can of crushed tomatoes 6-8 carrots, roughly chopped 1 cup of dry red wine 3 ribs of celery, roughly chopped 2 cans of low-sodium beef broth 1 pound of potatoes, chunked 1 teaspoon of black pepper 6 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped 1/8 teaspoon of salt Cook on low 8-9 hours or on high 4-5 hours or until the roast is fall-apart tender. Serve with fresh crusty bread. Go Camping and Go Gourmet Eating well when you go camping is not only an unexpected pleasure but it enhances the entire experience. At the RV Cooking Show we believe in meals as memory makers and simple dishes as souvenirs. Create recipes that bring back those wonderful outdoor adventure memories anytime of the year. Can you taste your next camping trip? Chances are it’s delicious!
