Two June camping trips.

First one is down past Clear Creek Reservoir which is between Leadville, CO and Buena Vista, CO. Close to the Winfield ghost town and Vicksburg. Took my two girls father's day weekend starting on Thursday. Spent a day in Buena Vista but ended up coming home on Saturday only to drive through a snow storm.

Second picture is the weekend before father's day. Camping off a forest road by Chessman Lake. Also went out to Eleven Mile State Park and Spinney State park. Mosquitoes at the state parks were unbearable, Chessman was by far the best place we visited. I was a bit bummed that they don't allow any kayaks / SUPs on the water, but that probably keeps it in the good shape it was in.

 

Picked up a 17 ft Viking travel trailer a few days ago and took it up this weekend. Still in disbelief that I own one. This is in Colorado, northeast of Salida.

 

Lucky dogs! Great photo!

 

Well am I glad I found this thread can’t believe I’ve never noticed it stickied up there!!

I traded in a WRX STi last September for the Tacoma mainly to get out on more camping trips.

We just went away on our first trip in it, up to Brewster River in VT near Smugglers Notch, stayed on a beautiful little (14 site) campground run by a young couple. We were right on the river! I’m no photographer and just realized I only took videos of the site! So here’s a few screenshots from them.

 

How do you like that Gazelle tent? I have one just like it and think it’s great!

 

It’s brand new we’ve only slept in it twice, super pleased with putting it up and taking down (coming from standard style tents) and it rained one night pretty heavy and we were nice and dry come the morning so no complaints so far.

My only gripe would be the size when packed down but I planned for that with the AdventureLabs Sleeper Keeper:

That’s awesome. Haven’t had it in the rain yet, but snow a few times. Yeah it’s a bit long for sure, I strap mine down to the top of my DiamondBack. I need to check out that Sleeper Keeper.

 

That is a great pic. Small step ladder, nice..

 

Lol, the wife needs access to the cooler too..

 

Nice setup you have. What make is the low profile rack/cross bar you have installed?

 

Nice set up!

 

Lil solo trip in the national forest, kept it light, used the jetboil instead of a 2 burner, saved a ton of room not bringing the kitchen bin
Did at least 60 miles of dirt

 

Were you at the lake on the Fourth for the fireworks? As always, they did a really great job.
