Welcome

Thanks for stopping by! We're the LaBarges from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. We started camping about 22 years ago when our daughters were pre-schoolers and still try to get out there as often as we can.

We'll be continually adding to this page, so be sure to stop by often.

Our "Summer Home"

After about 15 years of tent camping, we decided in 1999 that it was time to move up a bit. After shopping around, we finally settled on a 1999 Coleman Sante Fe. The tow vehicle is a 1999 Ford Ranger 4x4 with a 4.0L V6 and a 4-door extended cab. Here is some information on our pop-up and camping in general:
