This is badass!!!

 

The addition of a trailer means we can bring just that much more crap when we camp. At a recent Bass Pro Outdoor Days event at Table Rock Lake just outside Branson, MO.

Nice spot! ^^^

 

Crater Lake national park, Labor Day weekend, 30 degrees and light snow for the night.

 

Camped up at Nahatlatch for one night. We made the trek in from East Harrison Lake after stopping at Clearwater Hot Springs. I've been to Nahatlatch Valley many times in the past, but never in the new Tacoma. I've also never driven in from Harrison Lake. The last time I was up at Nahatlatch I took my dirt bike and checked out the road over to Harrison Lake. The road (Kookipi FSR) was blocked with a rock slide and had a few bad washouts. They've since repaired the FSR and it is in excellent condition.

Here's a map of the route, grey is all fire service roads. Nahatlatch is the the stretch of lakes at the very top of the loop.


And some pics.

 

Looks like a fabulous site! How were the temps this time of year?

 

Chilly at night, lows down to 6°C. If was nice to finally be able to have a campfire though as we've had a ban in effect for most of the summer. Temperatures during the day hit around 20°C . Which is still pretty warm for this time of year.

 

Love the Plate - Eh ??

 

Looks like everyone fights the same battle I do! These trucks with the little beds aren't easy to pack, especially if you want to maintain use of the tonneau cover. This was in Cataloochee Valley last week in GSMNP.

 

Never saw a popup like that. Could you tell me more about it? Thanks.

 

It's a Fleetwood Neon. Aluminum construction, "off-road" suspension, and is right at 900lbs. Big bed slides out the front and the seating in the side converts to a bed as well. Interior is sparse, some 12 volt lighting and various storage. I was debating between this and a bed-rack + RTT. This EASILY won out for my needs and was within $500 or so on cost.

It and it's big brother the Cobalt had a short production run (3 years) and were killed off through one merger or another.

When I bought I expected to be doing solo trips or just me and my son and so far we've always had more with us.

I looked nationwide when I was searching for one and found this one in Kentucky (it was the only one for sale at the time).

What camera equipment and settings are you using on the time lapse? One of the best night time time lapses I've ever seen!

 

Thanks for the info. Looking for a solo short term camper.

 

It would be PERFECT for that scenario. I'll either sell this one for a bigger one OR add a rack system to the top of this camper to increase my storage capacity.

 

What kind of tent is this?

 

Looks like the Tepui annex. Kind of a room, meant to connect to their awning.

 

I can make out tepui on it, so that's probably it. It's very similar looking to an oztent.

 

Yeah I searched the Tepui website and didn't see anything of the sort on there.
