Truck Camping Photo Thread

Super nice!!! Mind sharing lol? If not that's fine.

 

Sharing ? Location ?

 

yes but I think I found the spot!!!!

 

Prewitte ridge to be exact, probably the nicest place I’ve ever camped! Highly recommend it.

 

Night 2 on the Road to Tuktoyaktuk - Forest Rose Campground - Barkerville, BC

 

I should probably make a thread about the 6,700 mile road trip I just did, but heres a few camp photos from it. NJ>OH>IA>WY>ID>WY>SD>MO>KY>NC....

NC, TN, KY, IN, IL, SD, WY, MT, ID, MT, WY, UT, NV, UT, AZ, NM, TX, OK, AR, TN, NC.

I love road trips in this country.

 

Urban camping in Fayetteville at my sons house, Go Hogs you suck

 

North central PA this weekend!

 

Most of the trips I do require a full day - or more - of freeway driving just to reach the trailhead, so you can imagine my delight when we decided to do a trip on the west coast. Sort-of. At least, our meeting location was only four hours away - in the tiny little community of Mazama, WA. From there, we'd head north - to British Columbia, Canada - where we planned to run The Whipsaw Trail and then make our way north and west to Molybdenite Peak - before turning south again for the United States.

Check out the rest of part 1 here and get ready for another fun adventure:

...All lined up, he [Dan] took it slow - careful to pick the correct line to keep his truck out of the hole that'd been dug at the bottom of the ledge. Gravity unfortunately was having none of it and as he inched his way up, it sucked him down. Still, looked pretty bad-ass if you ask me!

...It turns out, we were at a spot in the trail where a spring kept the trail wet, and spinning tires on a clay-rich wet road kept the trail dug out and flexy. A spot where every last one of us would three-wheel it as we attempted to make it through...

Damn it. I haven’t had the chance to catch up on part 1 yet!

Great blog for anyone who doesn’t read Dan’s stuff.

 

We currently have a R-Pod but are considering one very similar to this one. The weight is giving me a little pause, the length only 2 feet longer is giving me more pause but it does address everything we don't like about the R-Pod. Short list but glaring in a few areas.

...And then, a trip-changing discovery. As we were wrapping up photos in this exact location - and frankly, as Mike was likely wondering how he could get around us so that he didn't have to put up with our shenanigans - I happened to glance down between the spokes of my rear driver-side wheel... and what I saw took the air out of my sails.

...I don't know how useful this post will be, but it's not uncommon that people ask me some version of how I got comfortable going off into the great outdoors as much as I do. Sometimes it's about how I got started; sometimes it's about how I am able to do so many trips; other times it's about how I developed the ability to feel confident in dealing with anything that comes up on the trail.

So I wrote a thing. It seems good, or at least seems like me.

How I Got Started with Offroad Adventuring

A couple buddies and I went up to NorCal for some deer hunting. 2 tacos did the trick!

 

Just pulled over for the night north of Patagonia.
