January 30th, 2009 Why you should buy an Air Mattress for Indoor and Outdoor Comfort

Air mattresses are not only perfect for overnight guests and for visiting friends and family, they are also ideal for camping, weekends away, for vacation homes and some people even use them every day, in place of a regular air mattress.

In the last few years the variety and popularity of the air mattress bed has increased. For instance, many air mattress beds now offer built-in support systems, these have valves which enable you to control how much support you need. You are able to adjust how hard or soft you need the air mattress bed to be, to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep. This can be helpful if you have back problems and are often used in the home as an extra bed.

For weekends away and camping, the camping air mattress can now include built in sleeping bags and internal insulation. When choosing a camping air mattress, the size and weight of the mattress can be an important consideration. Nowadays, however, there are many modern mattresses that are both light and provide good insulation and comfort. If you are planning to go camping in warm weather it’s now possible to buy an air mattress that weighs less than 20 ounces. For flexibility (and those cold mornings!) it’s may be better to go for a medium weight insulated air mattress.

Inflating your air mattress is now very quick and convenient too, battery pumps mean some mattresses can be inflated in less and a minute and deflated in seconds. Those of us old enough to remember inflating an air mattress with a foot pump will appreciate the difference!

The battery powered air mattress pumps are usually echargeable, some are cordless and with some you have the option of running the pump from the car battery lighter socket. You can also get standard electric plug-in pumps.

There are some extremely light air mattresses available now. In the past it used to be a choice between a light but hard air mattress, or a bulky and heavy but comfortable mattress. However with modern air mattress beds it is possible to have both comfort and a reasonably low weight and size. This gives them the flexibility for use in both camping and home.

To find the best air mattress for you answer these quick questions…

What size air mattress bed will you feel comfortable in? Do you want a large bed so you can roll over or do you want to save weight and space with a smaller bed? Do you want multiple air
chambers to adjust the firmness of different areas? Is an inflatable pillow needed?

Before buying an air mattress it is recommended that you research first on the internet before heading to the stores to get a feel for size, weight and comfort levels. When deciding what air mattress to buy you need to consider what you will be using it for. Take into account factors such as the weight, durability, ease of inflating and deflating, what level of insulation and comfort it will provide, and whether it has any extra features.

January 26th, 2009 Olympic National Park - Green As Can Be

If you love the color green, Olympic National Park is for you. Located in the State of Washington, this park is simply beautiful.

With plenty of rain throughout the year, the park is in a constant state of insanely beautiful green. Much bigger than it first appears, Olympic spreads over 900,000 acres. The geography ranges from coastline to thick forest to mountains capped with glaciers. Much of the park is classified as a rain forest, which means you’ll need a coat to handle the cool temperatures most of the time. This is made up, however, by waterfalls that pour off of cliff faces into pools of crystal clear water.

Located roughly two hours outside of Seattle, Olympic National Park is 95 percent wilderness. This untamed geography is an odd contrast so close to a major city. Despite the close location, the park is home to over 1,000 plant species, 300 bird species and 70 mammal species. Of this collection, the park is the only place in the world where 15 types of animals and 8 plant species can be found.

With its northwestern location, water is a constant at Olympic National Park. Depending on the time of year, rain can be a constant. Annually, parts of the park receive roughly 12 feet of rain. This massive volume of rain has a side benefit, to wit, the forested areas of the park have grown massive. Old growth trees top 200 feet in some areas and the ground area is covered with ferns like you’ve never seen before in your life.

With so much rain, it probably isn’t a surprise the park contains over 3,000 miles of waterways and 29 species of fish. Of note, Steelhead and Pacific Salmon use the rivers to migrate to and from the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately, no fishing is allowed in the park.

If you visit Olympic National Park, it is best to just start cruising the trails. With over 600 miles of them, you’ll have plenty to do.

January 25th, 2009 Using the Sun to Power Your RV

Jumping in your RV and leaving the rat race for the weekend is an American tradition. Did you know you can provide power to your RV with the sun while getting away from it all?

The Sun is Everywhere!

One of the biggest misconceptions regarding solar power is that it is limited to large panel systems on roofs. Au contraire! With new nanotechnology, solar power systems will soon be applied with the paint you use to improve your home. That’s still two or three years away, so what about now?

If you enjoy taking the RV out for an excursion, you can use solar power to provide your electrical needs. Whether you are going camping or to a NASCAR race, it is an exceedingly simple process.

Unlike homes, RVs run on direct current electricity. This makes them perfect for solar electricity since solar systems produce direct current electricity instead of alternating current. Put another way, there is no need for bulky converters to flip the electricity from direct to alternating. Instead, you can use the sun to power up your batteries directly.

Portable solar systems consist of pop-up solar modules with four or five panels. Essentially, they look like small ladders with solar panels instead of steps. You just pop them up on the roof of the RV or in an area where the sun hits them. The systems tie directly into your batteries and power them up during the day. Super easy and super clean.

The real advantage to solar RV systems has to do with noise. The traditional method for recharging your RV batteries is to turn on a generator and generators can be very loud. Even the quietest generator makes enough noise to make you feel like you live next to a construction site. Solar systems make no noise at all. There are no moving parts, just the sun beating down on the panels. You’ll never know they are even there.

If RVing is your thing, portable solar modules are worth taking a look at. With high fuel prices, you need to save a buck wherever you can.

January 23rd, 2009 Doggin’ Steamboat Springs, Colorado: Where To Hike With Your Dog

James Crawford is the father of Steamboat Springs, Colorado having settled in a
cabin on Soda Creek in 1874. Instead of becoming “Crawfordville,” legend has it the
town was named for the rhythmic chugging of a hot spring that disgorged mineral
water 15 feet into the air. The medicinal springs brought the first settlers to the
valley and later the town became an international ski jumping mecca with the arrival
of Norwegian champion Carl Howelsen in 1913. Today outdoor enthusiasts and dog
lovers don’t wait for the snow to fall to make their way to Steamboat Springs.

In town, the Yampa River Trail system links Steamboat Springs with the
surrounding mountain area. The trails provide easy dog walking along the Yampa
River and through city parks. More than 150 hot springs gurgle around Steam-
boat Springs. Following the Hot Springs Walking Tour takes your dog to seven
historic springs, including Heart Springs. The origin and history of each spring is
detailed on interpretive signs. Look for the descriptive brochure in the Chamber
Info Center (1255 South Lincoln/Highway 40).

To get out of town head for the Spring Creek Trail, an 8-mile round-trip that
begins at the corner of Amethyst Drive and East Spring Street. The route is an easy
canine hike on a well-graded trail that meanders up to the Spring Creek
Reservoir and Dry Lake Campground.

Just north of town is Fish Creek Falls, a 283-foot plunging waterfall that is the
town’s leading visitor attraction. Canine hikers will know it as the starting point for
the Fish Creek National Recreation Trail. Long wooded inclines at the beginning of
the trail give way to a steep, rocky climb before leveling off in alpine meadows on
the 5-mile journey to Long Lake. Continuing past Long Lake, you shortly reach the
Continental Divide. The elevation gain on this out-and-back trail, Forest Service
Trail #1102, rises from 7400 to more than 10,000 feet and and patches of snow in
shady spots will delight your dog even in summer.

Steamboat Springs is located northwest of Denver, on US 40.
