Coleman 9941-768 Road Trip Grill LX (Blue)

This Coleman Road Trip Grill folds small for easy storage but opens into a full-sized propane grill with a generous 285 sq. in. cooking surface. Tote it easily to a tailgate party or picnic for delicious flame grilled food on the road or off the beaten path. 20,000 BTUs offer hotter, faster cooking and the removable Mix & Match surfaces let you use it as a grill, griddle or stove. Use it on the stand (included) or on your tabletop. Includes matchless lighting, 2 fully adjustable, independently controlled burners and lid locks for secure transportation. Operates on 16.4-ounce propane cylinder or adaptable to a 20-pound tank (propane cylinder, tank hose, and tank sold separately)

Tired of taking your funky hibachi to the ballpark every time you want to tailgate? Turn to the Coleman Road Trip Grill, an authentic open-flame grill that packs up compactly for easy transport and storage. The Road Trip Grill offers two powerful, fully adjustable 20,000 BTU burners, along with support for several mix-and-match cooking surfaces, including a drip-through grill, a pancake griddle, and a stove for heating water (the latter two are separately). In addition, the burners are powerful enough for both cold-weather and high-altitude cooking, so you can use the Road Trip Grill in destinations like Green Bay, Denver, and Buffalo, N.Y. Perhaps the coolest feature, however, is the collapsible frame, which holds the grill at a standard cooking level in its open position, but folds up in seconds when it's time to go. There's no easier way to enjoy the versatility of a full-size upright grill and the convenience of a portable unit.


The grill offers a collapsible frame for easy transport.
The Road Trip Grill also includes two detachable side tables for grilling and cooking duties, along with a lockable lid for security. Other details include a 285-square-inch cooking surface, convenient storage hooks for cooking utensils, a removable grease drip pan, and easy pushbutton ignition. The grill--which operates on a single disposable 16.4-ounce propane cylinder (not included) or a 20-pound propane tank (purchase of tank hose and tank required)--carries a five-year limited warranty.
About Coleman
The Coleman Company has been creating and innovating products for recreational outdoor use since W.C. Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely popular fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957--the birth of the modern cooler--and the company has been improving their utility and design ever since. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about everything you might need to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture.

I am reminding myself of who I was before becoming a manager of an adult care home...
I was many things at different times, and one thing was I was a creative writer... I did not have a camera at that time, and I used words to paint pictures. These writings came from deep inside, flowing out through the ink of the pen, onto the page as though by magic.

I am sharing some of those writings here, bringing together the words and photos for the first time.

Full moon and waterfalls...
.. as I stepped out the door and breathed in the full moon scented air, crisp and washed clean, I suddenly felt like walking. I walked down the steep street next to the house, past the house of the girl who left the rose to see if she had yet found the pots of daffodils and hyacinth on her porch (not yet) and on down towards the heart of this tiny old riverfront town. Not too far, because it became apparent that I have not been taking walks lately and the knee started hurting a bit. I wandered through various side streets, back up the hill towards home, enjoying the smells and sight of the moon shining through a window in the high gray blue cloud cover. I remember this feeling... and how long has it been since I allowed this to happen??? Wow. The knee mellowed out after a few blocks, the hips were starting to lose their kinks... the back loosening up a bit. Ahhh....

As I came back up a different hill towards the house, I could hear the youngling waterfall giggling down the cliff across from the house... so I headed up past the neighbors gate to sit by the gift of water for a bit. This waterfall only happens part of the year, particularly when the snow above is melting, little rivulets of snow melt wandering down the little furrows and ravines, dropping over cliffs and seeking each other as they race down the face of the cliff, down through the ditches of Bingen, and into the Columbia river to join ranks with all the other rainwater and snow melt and underground springs as they ponderously navigate the channels of the mighty Columbia the last 100+ miles to the Pacific ocean.


I used to come over here to pray, especially under the full moon when the water was running, about this time of year 2 years ago...so I went over and washed my face in the water that still smelled like the clouds and the earth.

I prayed for all Mankind with that water from heaven ...knowing that the water was on it's way to the ocean and so is directly connected to the water all over the Earth. I prayed for myself too, and found myself finally feeling that connection with earth and heaven and all life again... I once more was aware of truly being part of the whole, one of the elements of this spiritual creation, in a way I have not felt since sometime before mom died. I thought something had died inside me when she left her body... maybe it did, but through the magic of this creation life is being reborn once again in my being.

I stretched myself out on the wet grass and sharp rocks, and dug my fingers into the earth, breathing in pure life energy with my nose pressed into the bosom of the mother, and felt the warmth of my own exhaled breath as it touched the small plants below me. with all my being I thanked creation for the gift, left my tears of mingled sorrows and joys mixed with the dew on blades of grass, said goodnight to sister moon, and meandered across the street, down my lava rock steps and back to my temporary home to finally eat dinner and write of my experience.
