Truck Camping Photo Thread

Thanks, man.

 

Anyone ever hit the continental divide trail through WY?

 

1 year ago, today. Turns out the forest outside of Seattle is super busy on labor day weekend, but if you're not afraid of custom pinstripes, there's lots of back roads.

 

Through Yellowstone

 

Weekend camping setup in Bald Eagle State Forest. Had the DRZ on some trails it most certainly did not belong on using street tires. Rode 100+ miles of trails and gravel. What an awesome place.

 

Did a quick over-nighter in the Toiyabe National Forest just west of the Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park, NV.

 

Labor Day weekend in Hell's Canyon is becoming a tradition for my wife and I.



More pics and a small write up in my build thread if anyone is interested.

 

Saturday near Pine, CO in Pike National Forest.

 

Great trip reports and really good photos!

 

Didn’t update our summer Sierra Nevada trip.

Drove up and camped first night so we could hit backpacking trail early the next morning. This was the girls second backpacking trip so we bumped it up to 4 days 3 nights. They did awesome. Then we drove down south to enter the Seqouias. Took a gnarly dirt road about 7 miles and ended up in a beautiful meadow with good trout fishing. Stayed a couple more nights then back to reality.

 

Spent some time camping out of the Taco this past weekend in Forbes State Forest. I had clear skies on Thursday night and saw at least ten satellites, with one of them being a "tumbler."
Those are always fun to track across the sky.

 

Some shots of the Tacoma at the campground in PA Labor Day weekend.

 

Some Labor day weekend camping trip pic!!! at SEKIIIII

 

Hit Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan a couple weeks ago with my daughter. Great place for hiking and kayaking. And yes I have a ground tent and a Tacoma. Shocking I know. The older I get the more I find myself looking at the different teardrop style trailers. Maybe one day but for now I will be one of the few still using a ground tent.

 

Just purchased a 2020 Kingwood Roo 23BDS. Dry weight of 5,100 lbs. When loaded with our gear it’s about 6,200 lbs. We use a Fastway E2 weight distribution hitch. The truck towed it very well. It’s not fast going up hills, but had no trouble maintaining 50-55 mph. On flat, highway speeds were no problem. Gas mileage averaged around 10-12 mpg, which I feel isn’t too bad for towing near maximum ability. Our 2006 Tacoma has had the frame replaced and drives like a new truck.

 

Cool camper!

 

Up in George Washington National Forest.

 

Chainsaw mod is awesome!!

 

Night 1 on the road to Tuktoyaktuk. Camped near Loon Lake, BC
