The
Camping Journal: The Log Book for RVers ,
by Terry Taylor
A worthwhile exercise for any road trip is the
act of keeping a written journal. Over the years, we have
used a variety of logbooks and notebooks to record our observations
about what we saw, where we stayed, and the expenses related
to the trip. Now, Terry Taylor has created a way to record
a trip in a spiral bound "Camping Journal" that
may prove useful for both RVers and general roadtrippers.
The Camping Journal is divided into four parts.
The first section of the book includes four pages of mileage
and fuel log charts -- it should cover at least 84 fuel stops.
Then there is a two-page section for maintenance and service
reports. The third section includes space to create an index
for road trips. The heart of the Camping Journal is the 100
pages of Trip Logs that enable the recording of such details
as total mileage, weather conditions encountered, a series
of checkboxes to record the conditions of any campgrounds
stayed in, and a few lines for jotting down thoughts and reminiscences.
The purchase price of $20 is about right for
the heavy-duty paper and binding of the journal, and its good
layout and design make it easy to recommend to roadtrippers
of all kinds.
