Fifty Rainbow sierrans enjoyed the sunny Opening Day picnic in Tilden Park on July 5th. 

Besides picnicking,    

participants chose from several hike options,

discussed outings and outing safety,


conversed about conservation efforts,

and particpated in the book club.

Chooseing Camp Furniture


Camping is so much more fun when it’s made as comfortable as possible.  This is where your setup with camp furniture can help.  There are many collapsible and lightweight choices that have come to market in recent years. 

Physically testing furniture is recommended if you have outdoor retailers near you. I tested chairs recently at REI and Decathlon.  I was attracted to an REI chair, but the reviews suggested it was hard to assemble.  That was a deal breaker for me, so I settled on a chair from Decathlon that comes together and disassembles easily.


I chose a 20” collapsible and height adjustable table to complement the chair.  This can serve as a small dining table for 2 or a side table for drinks, snacks and a solar light.                                       

Chairs come in many formats: rockers, low back, high back, with cup holders and coolers attached.  Consideration for amenities, weight and portability should be evaluated for optimal use.


Choose well and Happy Hiking!

Stay Tuned for the next exciting adventures!
