    I'm super stoked on it, made my 8 day expedition up to the PNW a breeze. Setup and breakdown of camp was super quick with only a table, chairs & fire.

    Everything under the bed is in a rubbermaid tote and fits like tetris. All my camping gear is just permanent under there, it's now a legit bug out vehicle. I've been lazy on uploading pics, will try this weekend when I free up.

    Fun trip this weekend, too! I just got my couple photos put up and I'll write a trip report tomorrow or something. I'll wait for you to post your photos if you want so I can use a good mix.

    Had a fun weekend trip with 92Shawman (Kevin) last weekend down at Santiago Peak. He helped me tune my cb antenna (which has been installed for 2ys now :anonymous: ) We drove to the very top of Santiago Peak and stayed at 2 pretty cool little campgrounds.

    Anyways, here are some shots I took with my phone.

    Quite a bit has happened since I've documented anything, so here's a bit of an update.

    This year we took a nice little trip from LA, over to AZ: Mesa, Sedona, Flagstaff, and South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

    It was nice seeing snow after living in SoCal for 3 years. Unfortunately we couldn't see much when we got to the Grand Canyon, but patience is certainly a virtue. The clouds cleaned the whole valley, providing epic views.

    Next up was Monument Valley and Mexican Hat, then up to SLC for a few days to visit friends.

    Zion was next, then down to Mojave National Preserve, were we had to sleep with the top down as it was so windy- and woke up to 2inches of fresh snow. Finally back down to LA.

    Flagstaff- near Walnut cliff dwellings. Had to sleep with the top down for 40+ mph winds. We got out just before the sideways sleet came!

    South Rim, Grand Canyon



    Monument Valley



    Little Cottonwood Canyon

    Near Zion




    Oh yeah, got engaged too.

    Forgot to upload the Mojave National Preserve morning:

    It was Pam (the golden)'s first time seeing snow this trip, needless to say she loved it and sprinted everywhere like a wild woman.

    Also, Nikita (the chihuahua) spent the whole trip cold, covered in blankets and sandwiched in beds.

    Herculined the bumper this last Sunday- I think it turned out pretty rad!

    I've been directing a bunch of photo shoots recently, and the adventuremobile has been perfect for it. Today I let our models chill in the camper while we got the camera shot framed and placed the lights and everything. We ate lunch at the table and I had enough chairs for everyone- and the models were stoked on using the changing station.

    Camped on the SoCal coast for Christmas, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Windy as all get out, but still beautiful.

    Side note: my dakars + aal are squeaky af. Thinking of switching to all pro expos- as I always have this camper in the back. Anybody have any opinions? Building my own is also an option, but don't know anyone in LA that does that: input welcome.
