Desert landscape Tacoma Thread

Love it. I planning something for this winter ........ Looks like Bahai de Concepcion

 

A few random Baja photos for hormonal purposes:

Driving along Bahía Concepción -- note the lack of shoulder:


Driving into San Ignacio:

You will see lots of Cardon cactus, the largest in the world:

Ah hey Stuck, say where you goin’ with that, lens in your hand?


I’m goin' way down south
Way down, to Mexico way

 

My only Baja suggestion is to do a whale watching tour in Jan-Mar. One of the top 5 things I've done in my lifetime so far.

"The Lonely Bull" - Herb Albert @ Puerto Penasco, Son, Mexico

 

Driving from PHX to SoCal the other day, I decided to take a 100-mile detour through Kofa—more fun than the interstate. The blue line is (are?) my breadcrumbs.


Driving thru the scenic Little Horn Mountains.




This is what a saguaro cactus looks like after it's gone to the big gravel pit in the sky:

Stopping by the Wilbanks Cabin:


Heading southwest after visiting the Kofa Cabin -- this is big sky country (not affiliated with Montana):

sunrise on the playa, alvord desert

 

Spent a week last month cruising around the right side of the Green River.

 

Great pictures and locations. Thanks for sharing

 

sunrise or sunset? Regardless what a way to to wake up or call it a day. Good stuff

 

Sunrise, as seen from the campsite in the second photo. I did get a sunset photo from the campsite in the last photo, but didn't post it because there weren't any Tacomas in it.

 

Wandering in the soggy high Mojave

 

looks peaceful out there

 

The house is located at the edge of a steep escarpment -- I'm sure we saw 30-40mph gusts. We looked in the building then couldn't get back into the trucks fast enough. Nope, not so peaceful.
