Truck Camping Photo Thread

I have some old plastic milk crates that I love for camping and yes plastic totes.

 

Better call Maaco...

 

Photos really can't capture
the beauty of this place - the
views so vast and the colors
so bright. Eventually, we put
our cameras away and we
just looked out over it all.

The Re-Tour Day 11: We Mountain Hop to Goose Lake

A quick one-nighter this past weekend. Explored Mayflower Gulch and parked the camper above Twin Lakes for the night. Cold but quiet. Had some trouble keeping the heater going at 9600', but I was warm and comfortable as long as I stayed in my sleeping bag.

 

That second photo looks like a great day!

 

Got out to North Barstow for an overnight gun run. No worries about late night setups.



That’s a big-ass tent. Actually I think that fits in the yurt catagory.

 

Our last camp fire had been both long and too short. We'd metered out all of our remaining wood - making it last - until the flames on the last logs finally went out. That meant we were working on less sleep that normal as we set out west - spirits high that the trucks were running, a bit bummed for the events from the day before.

But it wouldn't be long before the trucks would be patched up and we'd be on the road again - that we knew for sure!

Such a sick photo. Sunrise? Or set? Planned? That's impeccable timing.

 

It was taken at sunset, and completely unplanned. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time (I think I was a way behind Mike because I'd stopped to take some other photos). That was a cool photo for sure - I knew as soon as I took it that it was going to be a special one.

Lunch spot for the day of exploring big bend.

 

I've camped down to 10 degrees using propane to heat with no issues. Condensation on the outside of the tank will freeze, but that is it.

Only word of warning: Mr. Buddy doesn't recommend using a large propane bottle with the hose piped into a tent or camper, even though they make such a hose. I had a hose start leaking on me and had to throw it away. Imagine a whole large propane bottle, leaking and filling your tent/camper with gas. Sooner or later the hose wears down and the seal isn't that good. When we use the Mr. Buddy we just use new bottles and change it when it runs out, but don't use it much anymore as I now have a hard sided slide in camper with a real heater for winter camping.
