On  this weeks episode we’re talking about all you can do in Wichita for a weekend. My recent trip to Wichita included a visit to WAM, the Wichita Art Museum where we enjoyed the Dale Chihuly installation, Confetti chandelier; the Gordon Parks exhibit,  Back to Fort Scott; and the many beautiful paintings that are part of the museums permanent collection. A walk along the river to see the Keeper of the Plains sculpture; a great lunch at The Old Tasty Mill soda fountain; a visit to the Aviation Museum all made for a great weekend destination . In the Campfire Chat I talk about tire safety and things to look for when evaluating your tires lifespan. I’ve included a link to Mark Polk’s excellent article on tires.

On this weeks podcast you can hear Kyle Mundt, director of marketing and new product development for Sylvansport discuss the Coolest. Camper. Ever. The “Go!” trailer by Sylvansport is a new age version of the age old pop up trailer.

One of the greatest features of the “Go!” is the ability to stop for the night and use it without having to take the gear off the top.

On this week’s episode the talk is all about buying a trailer. I’m going to break it down for girl campers and give some food for thought.  Before you make a big purchase you might want to ask yourself a few questions; How many people will be using it? Where will you park it? Do you know what your camping style is? Tune in and find out! I will also be chatting about the Philadelphia RV show and my guest blog for the Sisters on the Fly’s, On Age and Attitude feature. I also share the story of 90 year old Norma who opted out of cancer treatment and decided to hit the road in an RV with her son and daughter in law.
