We’ve all heard how important it is to eat a diet high in roughage. Likewise, “roughaging” (spending time outdoors) is essential to our mental health. Even if it’s a settee on the porch, we need it, gotta have it. I aim to be the reason you pulled your bedding out the back door last night.
I’m thinking I better not miss this one. How about you? The marriage of Junkin’ + Glampin’ is happenin’ June 14 & 15 on Valley Chapel Road in Walla Walla, Washington, and you’re invited. Check it out at loveofjunk.com and then get yourself signed up for one of their campsites or just auto on over for a weekend of junkin’ (better bring an empty trunk, though).
Terry Steinmetz says: Now what is she thinking?
Winnie Nielsen says: She is a pretty girl! I love the hens with the copper penny feathers.
Now that you’ve read my book, Glamping with MaryJane, you need to find a fabulous place to get your glam campin’ on.
And so, we’re back for a 6th day of where to glamp in 2013. Colorado has long been an untouched wilderness teeming with elk and undisturbed Mammoth trees, and every season will please.
Dunton Hot Springs
Colorado
Nestled in the San Juan Mountains of the Colorado Rockies, Dunton Hot Springs is an oasis of thick, fluffy snow in winter; hues of yellow and gold in fall; bright-blue, crystal-clear skies in spring; and warm, languid, heat during the summer.
Winnie Nielsen says: Wow, this place looks so fun and unique. I am so glad you are showing us all of these great ideas for getting out and seeing America with a one of a kind experience.!!
AND, if you come this way, be sure to hollar at me! I live less than 50 miles from Dunton Hot Springs. You see that it is near the Dolores River?? My mail comes from Dolores, Colorado, which is also by the Dolores River just down river from Dunton.
Gorgeous part of the world! And the San Juan Mountains are “my mountains”!! I see them from my kitchen window!

Debbie Walker says: Ahhhhh!! Just LOOKING at the campsites was refreshing……..can’t imagine what it would be like to actually be camping there!!!!

And so, we’re back for a 5th day of where to glamp in 2013. Enchanted by the Wild West?
Grand Canyon Ranch
Arizona
With activities like wagon rides, a bison safari, and overnight campouts, Grand Canyon Ranch is the place to connect with your inner cowgirl. Git yer’ family’s wagon train a-moving to this picturesque setting situated just 16 miles from the Skywalk at the Grand Canyon.
Winnie Nielsen says: Whoa, this would be way too much fun! Prairie girl camping sounds like a dream!
Elizabeth says: Oh no! It looks as if a Cowbird has molested another bird’s nest; I had this happen too. I’m afraid this highjacking & replacement of eggs will happen here again with a Black-Capped Chickadee pair which are trying so hard to keep invaders away. But sadly, the BCC almost always lose when it comes to defending a territory or nest. I had to chase a couple of Carolina Wrens away from the Chickadee nest just the other morning. It’s no wonder so many nests are abandoned by the American song birds; it looks like exhausting work, building & then defending them!
Winnie Nielsen says: What bird lays different size eggs???? Or are these eggs from different birds just for a beautiful photo? Here in the South, the American Robin lays pretty blue eggs.
Now that you’ve read my book, Glamping with MaryJane, you need to find a fabulous place to get your glam campin’ on.
And so, we’re back for a 4th day of where to glamp in 2013. Ready to sink your teeth into a sweet Georgie treetop campout?
Dancing with the Trees
Georgia
Take in the sights and heights from the top of a canopy. Feel the wonder of safely cresting the top of a branch and snuggling like a leopard into your snug “tree boat.” Dancing with the Trees will give you an unforgettable experience:
Each guest/climber stays attached to a harness and climbing rope throughout the experience while spending a peaceful night cradled in the arms of a tree. The next morning, enjoy a continental breakfast … in the trees! Then there’s a chance for more climbing.
Winnie Nielsen says: Wow, that seems scary to me but I can understand the lure. My idea of the ultimate is staying at MJF B&B!!
Buy props used in MaryJane’s books and magazine!
5% of profits will benefit www.firstbook.org, a non-profit that provides new books to children from low-income families throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
This would be fun! I bet there are going to be some awesome finds, not to mention, a great opportunity to grab a friend for a thrifting day extraordinaire!
Wish we could . . . but, “Birdie” and I have to be headed back home, leaving the fair state of Idaho on June 13th. Oh well! We are certainly looking forward to our glamping road trip to Washington, Idaho and Utah just before that!
