Stfnwuf, so sorry about your mom's passing, but she left you with some great memories and a lovely gift: love of camping:)
My mom HATED camping (she said), but she went along with it for Dad and us girls. Now for someone who claimed to hate it, she did it so well. She'd help Dad set up the camper (a big tent Sears sewed up to go on the box he designed and built...it was great! And could she cook! She told us the reason her food tasted so good was because the outdoors was good for our appetites and made her cooking taste better...but she was awesome. How I so appreciate her great attitude and the lessons she and Dad taught us and the places we got to visit! And the love of camping and the great outdoors...Thanks so much, Mom and Dad xoxoxox
