These can both last a week, providing they've never been refrigerated. For some reason, they seem to be really quick to spoil if they've ever been refrigerated and are then taken out of it. Broccoli may get a little yellow and cauliflower may get some black spots -- just cut both out. And as with summer squash, if either is starting to wilt, use it in a cooked dish and it won't be noticeable. diff --git a/travel/trip/travco/tips/medicines-to-have.txt b/travel/trip/travco/tips/medicines-to-have.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..76ab779 --- /dev/null +++ b/travel/trip/travco/tips/medicines-to-have.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Olive leaf extract (anti-viral, anti-fungal) diff --git a/travel/trip/travco/tips/national forest boondocking gets easier!.txt b/travel/trip/travco/tips/national forest boondocking gets easier!.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ccd06d7 --- /dev/null +++ b/travel/trip/travco/tips/national forest boondocking gets easier!.txt @@ -0,0 +1,35 @@ +--- +title: National Forest Boondocking gets easier! +date: 2015-08-20T11:49:13Z +source: http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com/2015/08/national-forest-boondocking-gets-easier.html +tags: travco, trip + +--- + +As it is, there's no reason you shouldn't have an easy time finding free and cheap camping spots in the U.S. or Canada, especially if you use a great resource like <http://www.ultimatecampgrounds.com/> . + +But now, the USFS is using a new map symbol to display areas where National Forest "dispersed" camping is available. + +As an example, let's have a look at Lewis and Clark National Forest in Montana.
