Bird Cam 2002 We at Xcel Energy are pleased to bring you multiple opportunities to watch the growth and development of peregrine falcons. This year, three of our power plant nest boxes are equipped with cameras: http://www.xcelenergy.com/community/birdCam.asp

It's that time of year. Whether you're camping at powwows, campgrounds, or your special place, here are some tips to make it even more enjoyable.

Pete's Family Camping Site We are a family of 4 that began camping in 1995. My wife and I camp with our two daughters ages 10 and 13. Our camping experiences have been centered around "Family Campgrounds", that usually offer some activities and amenities. We have yet to do any hard-core wilderness camping, perhaps soon now that the girls are getting older. Our camping outings are a mix of camping as we travel and simple weekends away from home, including 1 or 2 mom and dad only outings. We have decided to stay with tenting as opposed to a pop-up or something more closely resembling a house on wheels. http://home.gwi.net/~spectrum/camping.html

Family Camping The sight of crisp stars on a moonless night and the flicker of campfires. The smell of campfires, coffee perking by the fire, bacon frying in the morning. The sound of your children laughing and having fun playing with the "little things in life." These are a few of the things camping is made of. Have you already tried family camping, only to run into a few rough spots? Have you been wanting to family camp but haven't quite known where to start? If so, this is the place for you! http://www.execpc.com/~thomas/camp.htm

Camping Tips for Parents When I was a kid, camping preparations in my family meant throwing a few blankets and pillows into the back of the van. Sometimes we threw in a change of clothes. Then we were off into "the wild blue yonder." Though exciting, our camping trips were very difficult at times (especially in bad weather). But your family camp outs needn't be so difficult. Camping can be fun as well as exciting if you prepare properly. Here are a few camping tips from a veteran camper to start you on your way. http://www.monteran.com/outdoors/camptip2.html
