replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip #parkchat A5 we precook a lot of food then freeze it, that way mom enjoys the camping instead of spending time cooking and cleaning every day! 😉 But we also make use of our Dutch oven a lot! Mmmmm.

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip A5) If I'm going up to Yosemite for a day visit I'll stop & pick up a sandwich which I'll have half at Washburn Point & half at Valley View. Other times its it could be a one of the restaurant in the park. #ParkChat

replying to @MattsRoadTrip A6. Precooked meals in vacuum sealed bags that can be boiled in the bag are great for camping! Also, BBQ restaurants that sell meats by the pound can be a great source of delicious, precooked food and by the pound is more affordable! #ParkChat

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip #parkchat A6 well, we just spend 7 nights outside @YellowstoneNPS at a @super8 and cooked everything in our air fryer and instant pot. Ate pizza out one night. At $80/night it was an incredible deal! Breakfast at hotel & lunch is in the cooler. Sandwiches, coffee, etc.

replying to @MattsRoadTrip A7. I love hiking and exploring the Backcountry, it's my favorite thing to do in our parks! I do love a good scenic drive, too! Not as much of a fan of guided tours, although I've been on one or two I loved! #ParkChat

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip #parkchat A7 we do both. Our sons get restless so then we hike after we do the drives. Esp to waterfalls or where they can sled in winter. Less on the guided tours unless it is w a park ranger and short.
