Who goes camping with their Taco?

The link works fine for me.

 

A buddy of mine from college did something similar when he graduated. He and his girlfriend rented a tandem bike w/ saddle bags. They flew to oregon and rode it across the country all the way to VA camping along the way. Then shipped the bike back to OR.

 

that would be bad ass! so far its just been RAGBRAI and a few overnight trips with the gang.

 

nice i think i might have to go with this 70$ is a good price

 

Ricketts Glen State Park - October 2010 First camping trip in our new to us Taco!

Awesome State park in Northeast Pa, 3 miles of trails and 21 waterfalls!

 

Man, yall got me wanting to go this weekend!

 

Cool pics. Subbin' for more.

 

^ this is very cool, I've thought about doing the same! Then my bike was stolen !!

Nice Eureka Apollo II, I use the same tent!

No kidding, $70 is a steal!

 

thanx man. drag about yer bike! i sat on the idea for many years till i found this group of baggers who did ragbrai every year. i bought the bob and i was hooked. the only downside to bike campin is ya either drag around massive weight or spend a fortune on mega lite stuff like the tent. its a Eureka Zeus 1 EXO Ultralite tent (3.82lbs) btw. the goal is to be under 40 lbs total for a week long trip. that can be a challenge with 13.5 lbs of trailer and dry sack. much easier with my new bags. wanna buy a bob trailer?

ps: in the tent pic you can see a suburban/trailer in the background with a tree on it. the town got slammed that night and we lost a guy in a tent not far from us. rough night, sad day. i think we rode 100 miles in his memory that day.

 

Oh man! This pic makes me want to go riding SO BAD! Love the socal desert!

 

I sleep in my shell, but I'd love to find a vestibule that extends from the back of the shell out and down, and covers 10-15 sq feet of ground. That way there's some privacy for a portable john, plus a dry space to kick boots off without tracking mud into the shell.

And PS ... great thread

PPS ... anybody use these? http://www.adventuretrailers.com.

 

I have gone on treks with some people who own these. They are great but do make some trails more challenging.

 

This might be a jeep, but it's pretty awesome. It even has a toilet inside. I bet it could be done to a Tacoma!

Been around for a while. Comes with a hefty price tag too.

spoiled camping (wifes trailer)

 

I'd just like to say that this thread is awesome. I am loving my first truck and never realized how many more places to go and things to do there were when you don't have to have sportscar-quality roads to get there.

Thanks to everyone for the great pics!

 

Me and my friends all go camping with our tacomas! And we all sleep in our backseats!

^ this is a great idea, I wouldn't mind having a vestibule off my shell! I'll keep my eye out.
