We looked at coming here a year or so ago and one look at those summer temps and we quickly decided against it. We’re fairly adventurous when it comes to camping but we don’t have a death wish.
Thanks and same to you and yours, we’re spending the Christmas break with people who matter most.
Good morning (or evening), would you give us the rig rundown of these trucks in your group? They look fantastic, I am sure we all would love more info; the area, the trucks and the trip in general. Tks!
I've just took part in another organized event - the Budapest-Bamako charitable rally And of course we camped in our LC. Enjoy the pics
One of the last countries in Europe where you may legally drive on the beach - Albania.
Great spot! Where is this?
Sinks Canyon, WY. I was delivering a RTT to its new owner. Took my kids and did an overnighter. It was a nice little trip and they paid for delivery.
) very soon.
Back in the 70’s, there was a documentary about how insects are the only other animal group besides humans that have steadily increased their populations. Eventually they were predicted to overrun the planet.Spent five nights in this spot (south-eastern British Columbia). Came home on day 6 absolutely exhausted (we were supposed to spend a few more nights here and then head to a provincial park for another week of camping).
This is our favourite spot, where we've camped five or six times now, but haven't been in the last 5 years. About 6 hours from home, so getting there is a lot of effort. The only real problem this time around was the bugs - endless mosquitos, flies, horseflies, and even ants endlessly feeding on us; I have more than 100 bite spots, no exaggeration. We've never had issues with bugs here before, but this trip was insane. My wife, kid and dog were similarly eaten alive.
Set in a valley, in between two tall mountains, and right on a fast moving river.
We've had a fairly wet summer so far, which worked out in our favour as campfires are still allowed. This was the last night, burning whatever firewood we had left.
River about 30 metres behind the trailer.
The first few days we had weather alternating between pouring rain and beautiful sunshine about every 30 minutes. Very frustrating.
Show me a hotel with a window view like this!
Endless great views.
This old girl had a pretty decent last camping trip. At 13 years old and with countless health issues, she's very close to the end. Glad we got her out to this spot one last time and made some memories (and many photos)!
The water level in the river went up about 6-7" in the six days we camped here. I'm always wary of setting up camp near water (be it lake or river) and always keep track of the water levels by placing markers on the edge of the water to see how/if it changes over time.
That's a 150ft, orange garden hose pulling water from the river to the trailer. We absolutely loved having endless water. The toddler got hot baths (outside) 2-3x per day, which gave us some much needed (if short) rest each time.
First time finding a porcupine in the wild. Also saw a black bear on the road both on the way in and out, three deer, and a rabbit.
My ~570W of solar worked beautifully and had my 200ah of lithium batteries charged to 100% by about 5pm every day. Didn't have to run the LX (for the DC/DC charger) even once. Here it is putting in more than 20ah of charge into the batteries.
And this is why I love having a 12v fridge. 28.6c inside the trailer, fridge is easily holding 3.4c (set nowhere near max cool setting), while the freezer is MINUS 28.5c. Try getting that kind of performance out of a propane-powered, absorption fridge.
(It wasn't actually 39.7c outside, closer to 30-32c. My outside temp sensor is set inside the propane tank cover, which was hotter than ambient.)
With a second kid a few months away, we don't plan on camping any more this year, and likely not at all next year. Will be winterizing the trailer (in July!
