Truck Camping Photo Thread

Ha! I love it. (a truck bivouac)

 

Here is one I just found of me and my buddy Seth's Taco and our friend Chris's TB SS at Big Bend about a month ago. Also, sorry for the massive photo [/IMG]

 

Camp breakdown is quick and easy with this setup.

 

Camping in the Bisti Bandlands in New Mexico last weekend.

 

Great photo love the exposure

 

This spot is 'on' the mountain bike trail in Downieville. We woke up had coffee & breaky & rode down into town & picked up a shuttle to the top of the trail & dropped right back to camp for beers... not a bad spot :-]

 

outside Sedona.

 

First time out with my new tent. Short overnighter at my lease

 

I was just up there a couple weeks ago to check out a claim. I had no idea how popular that was for mountain biking until I had to keep dodging bikers as I was trying to drive up the road. How far up the road is this spot you're camped?

 

So jelly!

 

Nothing inside, but I do have one during a "tailgate"...

I know, this goes against everything this thread is "about," but hey, I've had plenty of nights "out" in 20+ years of river guiding, backpacking, mountain biking, and whatnot. Hey, if I can camp, ride, drink beer, bring my dogs, AND watch some Duck Foobaw, I'm in heaven.

 

Not great... it was a four-banger. I even had Alcan 5-leafs on the rear, but the tongue weight made it struggle. That was the real reason my better half greenlighted the '11 DCLB.

 

Family camping with my 2005 SR5 DCLB and 1974 Golden Falcon

 

That is a picture full of treasured family memories!! One of the things that make camping so wonderful!! You have a great family and you are amazing for taking them on adventures -- the smiles speak for themselves!!!

 

You haven't violated anything that this thread is about. Whether you are sleeping on a rock or curled up inside a sweet RV, just being out and away from civilization is the key. My grandfather, who started taking me on camping trips when I was only 3, had a saying for all of his trick camping gear: "Any damn fool can be uncomfortable."

 

Hey Bob - it's about 2-3 miles up on Lavazzola (sp?)creek. You don't have to worry about dodging us on the road, we'll move ;-)
Good luck with the claim.

 

Sometimes I make myself jealous of myself.

 

Cool, thanks. I turned around not far past where the road turns away from the river so didn't go very far up. As it turns out I was given bad directions and the claim is on the North Yuba above Downieville so I didn't need to drive up that way in the first place! I had no idea the road ran that far back in until looking at it on a map just now. Good to know there's more back there and now I'll have to explore further up next time!
