Some of you just don't read all the threads I posted about her Campground log in her welcome thread - she wasn't sure she should. It's a GREAT way to keep track of campgrounds you visit - the sites you like best, the ones you don't - the cost, etc etc etc. I've just downloaded the first version and played with it so far. Want to have time to go back (after upgrading) and put in lots of cg info that I want to remember - and this will put it at your fingertips.

Right now they don't charge for downloading this - but a donation is accepted - so if you like it and use it - I recommend sending a donation. From what I can see, it was a lot of work for them to do this. And I would imagine, somewhere down the road, they'll start charging.

That said - give it a try - you might dsicover you like it -

And I'm going to move this to the gadgets and gizmos room - as I think we'll find it there easier later.

I just played with it. It's very well written and well designed. Yes, it's a campground log, not a journal, as I imagined. Allows for an incredible, but not necessary, amount of detail. First glance, I liked it a lot. Too bad I don't camp enough to use it much - I mean, how much information can you put down for your sister's driveway in Godfrey IL?

And yes, Mother, some of us don't read every post on every thread...

hehehehehe -

Just adding to what Mitch says - when she says not necessary - not a negative, you don't have to put in any more info than you want - but there's room for all of it - if you want it.

I've taken a look at it too. I like all the information they've placed there but probably wouldn't use lots of it. That said, I'm wondering if, after you've filled out what you want, if there's a way to save just that information so you don't have to go through it whenever you want to look something up. Guess I haven't played with it enough yet ...

Anyway, if someone who's filled it out can fill me in I'd appreciate it. Oh! Can you make hard copies of what you've inputted? What does it look like?/

I just re-read what I wrote - it did come out as being a negative . But it's not - there's a place for almost anything you could imagine wanting to record for a campground. But you can input as much or as little as you want. Only a campground name is necessary to add it to the database.

I love the way it looks like an open book; the whole thing is very visually pleasing. Seems to be a very nice program to help you jog your memory for campground details.

I didn't notice - can you add more than one picture per campground?

Laura, there's a search feature on the right hand page. I didn't use it yet. But I will.

Laura, I haven't attempted to print anything - but yes you can - on the home page, you can highlight cg's you've input and select to print that info out. Can't say what that looks like as I haven't done it - but you can try and take a shot for us

Mitch, I put in 3 pics for the 1st cg I did - to see how that worked - so yes, you can put in multiple pics - can even watch them as a slide show

[BirdbyBird]

and maybe another suggestion....I have not traveled to many of the states YET! But I am thinking that it would be nice place to note all the reports Birdie and others give for campgrounds that they have found....so when I do make over to those areas I can look up the nice places others have found.

[Bethers]

Right, Tina - you can use it however it works best for you. I just sat here and put in 3 more cg's, added 3 or more pics for each, info I want to remember - and it only took a few minutes. If I would only do this for every cg I visit - would have a great record. Then, to add in others recommended, etc -

Can add in boondock places, too - just give them a name if they don't have one.

This is really a neat program, especially for you guys who travel a lot.

I see one thing that slightly annoys me = click to EXIT and a confirmation screen always comes up. I would like the option of NOT having that screen pop up - you know - like a little check-box that says "DO NOT SHOW THIS SCREEN AGAIN".

[Bethers]

Lots of programs have that exit window - annoys me, too. Now, when my webbuilding program pops up and says "do you want to save changes" first, that I LIKE - lol - as it only says that if they weren't all saved. Otherwise, it closes. Maybe they'll change that in the next version.
