RadarOnline.com has learned the dynamic duo was spotted at an REI store Friday morning in Fresno, California shopping for camping supplies on their way up to Yosemite National Park.

“We talked a little bit and she told me they were headed up to Yosemite,” fellow shopper Nina Baker told RadarOnline.com of her unexpected run-in with Oprah.

“She was super nice and said they had never been camping before together so she was excited.”

Baker told RadarOnline.com that Oprah and Gayle spent about an hour in the outdoor gear store before getting a lesson on how to operate their newly purchased pop-up tent trailer.

“I didn’t think Oprah was the type to do tents but her and Gayle scooped up all sorts of supplies,” Baker said.

“They bought sleeping bags, lawn chairs, water bottles and fanny packs too.”

Oprah & Stedman have been together for decades. He's not a public person. O has been honest about her life for over 20 yrs. She's not gay. Any woman that's had a best friend for as long as O & G, doesn't find this unusual at all. I don't.

I'm confused. Why don't we ever read stories about Oprah and Stedman going on a cross country trip or camping? Why is it always Oprah and Gayle? We rarely hear of stories about Oprah and Stedman. 1+1=2.

Come out of the closet with Gayle, Oprah. It's time to announce you are bisexual. It's all fine-God loves us all.

Two women don't go camping together alone. They might go on a cruise, jet off to France etc. but not sleep in a tent alone together. These two have had a very obvious romantic relationship for decades. Unless you R a fool and refuse to see it.

They're not gay. Surprised some ignorants are still saying that...weird. The camping trip is for an Oprah show. That's all, just like when they went on the cross country road trip together. That was hilarious BTW.

Bit of a difference between a cross country road trip that is ever so public and sleeping in a tent with another woman. Honestly, these two have been at it probably longer than you've been an adult.
