#403 - TJ KretschmarGlacier National Park, Montana2006 Nissan Titan1994 Hallmark Ute LTDCamera Used - Samsung Galaxy S6This was from a family trip through Idaho, western Montana, and northern Yellowstone. We spent four days with my folks in Powell Wyoming and then went through Alpine Wyoming, Craters of the Moon, and then home to Boise. It was 11 days and 2,000 miles. There’s not much of a story, but we saw a lot!

#406 - Julie and Monte HendricksWhite Mountains, Nevada2003 Ford Ranger2013 All Terrain Bobcat SECamera Used - Nikon D3200Julie loves for us to find the perfect high point at the end of a dirt track to camp. There was solitude for several days, far from the sounds of man, along with spectacular views. That made this spot just right.

I found it while we had cell service on the road and I’m so happy I did! We had an amazing sunset in Nevada desert and enjoyed our campfire under the milky way. One of our best improvised stops!

#412 - Scott SmithSalmon, Idaho2018 Chevrolet 35002019 Lance 855SCamera Used - iPhone XI left my home in Missoula, Montana late in the evening on October 11th. I took off to Salmon, Idaho knowing that I would get there well after dark. I was just hoping that I would find a spot to boondock somewhere that was awesome. Sure enough, it was pitch black when I arrived in the area. I pulled off the highway and found this spot to park. I had no idea that when I woke up the next morning that I would be in such a beautiful place. Fall time in Idaho on the banks of the Salmon River is simply incredible. I spent the rest of the day soaking in Goldbug Hot Springs and spey fishing for Steelhead. I will not forget this weekend anytime soon. I am absolutely in love with my Lance truck camper.

#415 - Matthew MullisAssateague Island National Seashore, Maryland2005 Chevrolet 25002007 Lance 915Camera Used - iPhone 7I wanted to go out on Assateague for years and camp, but you have to be completely self contained. We finally bought a Lance truck camper in the winter of last year. We had a lot of busy months, but finally at the end of August we had a free weekend and we got there on a Saturday morning. So, we bought our pass and went out. I was so excited to spend the afternoon on the beach. Finally around 10pm we moved over to what they call the bullpen to sleep for the night. I was so wound up and ready to wake up on the beach I left the door open all night and listened to the waves. Finally when I saw the first sign of light I was up and out to see it. This is the first picture I ever took of my rig on the beach. This one I will always remember. I have only made it back to the beach one time since then and I can’t what to go back. We camp a lot of other places around the Maryland and Pennsylvania area, but Assateague is my favorite.

#416 - Steven PierretMedona Pass and Forest Service road 559 leaving the Pass, Colorado2014 Chevrolet Silverado2016 Four Wheel Camper HawkCamera Used - PhoneAfter leaving Medona Pass we continued up and over the mountain on a very primitive forest services road. At times that was more technical then the pass itself. This picture was cresting close to the top of the mountain. Although the picture doesn't show it there was a rock wall at about a 30 degree incline. We had to go up and over in order to get here. My wife was so scared she got out and walked as I dropped into four-wheel low and crawled my way up and over to where the truck sits. The view was worth it.

#419 - Fred and Charlotte KnaukeSouth Klondike Highway, Yukon2002 Dodge Ram 35002005 Northern Lite 10-2 CDCamera Used - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200On a previous trip to Alaska, 15 years ago, we were awed by the mountain scenery along the road from Whitehorse, Yukon to Skagway, Alaska. We wanted to be sure to repeat that part of the journey. Once again, the scenery along this segment of the South Klondike Highway was the most spectacular of our trip. We were glad we stopped to take these photos when we did. On the return trip from Skagway to Whitehorse, we were accompanied by storm clouds and rain all the way.

#427 - Lindsay HarveyValdez, Alaska2002 Ford F-2502004 Lance Lite 845Camera Used - Sony A7Our rig had 455,000 miles on her when we stopped for this gorgeous shot. Despite the longer drive days, the truck loved the cooler temperatures of Alaska.The drive into Valdez, Alaska is easily one of our top five drives in all of the 20,000+ miles we've driven through North America. The scenery becomes more and more spectacular the closer you get to the town. We couldn't drive more than a handful of miles without pulling over to take in the view, especially this view of Horsetail Falls!

#428 - Lindsay HarveyDalton Highway, Alaska2002 Ford F-2502004 Lance Lite 845Camera Used - Canon 80dDriving the Dalton Highway from Fairbanks to Deadhorse was one of the most challenging, yet rewarding, drives we have completed in over 14,000 miles of driving the US and Canada. While the road is a mixture of dirt, gravel and stretches of pavement (with potholes and frost heaves!) the drive itself is a journey for the soul. As you travel north you experience changes in landscape, vegetation and wildlife that make you feel as though you are traveling in a different world. With the midnight sun lighting the way, we followed the Alaskan Pipeline to it's source along Prudhoe Bay at the top of the world.For us, the Dalton Highway was necessary as it led to the beginning of our journey to drive from the top of Alaska to the bottom of Argentina. It was a highway leading to our destiny. And, although we experienced a tire blow out and drove back somewhat anxious and aware that the next blowout would leave us stranded, the highway became our favorite drive in America.

#429 - Lindsay HarveyHaines, Alaska2002 Ford F-2502004 Lance Lite 845Camera Used - Sony A7View like these, as we were leaving Haines, Alaska put life in perspective for us. As much as we have downsized our lives to live out of our truck camper, we still have too much. Yet in all that we have, we are but specks in the foreground of this magnificent landscape. But we are grateful to be alive and to have the opportunity to explore such a beautiful, beautiful world.

The first week we were at a developed campground. Then, we drove further up the lake and found this ultimate boondocking spot on the lakeshore with pristine views and great kayaking.

#431 - Edward and Debra AvansinoMeadow Lake, California1996 Ram 35001993 Lance LC 980Camera Used - Samsung Edge phoneMeadow Lake is a reservoir owned by PG&E gas and electric of California. This feeds into Lake Spaulding to support the water needs of Sacramento. It is in the wilderness area of Fordyce Canyon Trail which is extremely popular to Ultra built Jeeps, Monster rigs, and souped up ATVs. It is somewhat difficult to get there due to the narrow rocky roads. Sometimes you will drive 1/4 mile with only one lane of passage.The reason we enjoy going to this wilderness area is truly because of the ten original campsites. You can park you rig literally within 10' of the water. Although on the southwest side of the lake there is a newly upgraded campground with very nice vaulted toilets and water. We prefer the seclusion of the ten original because they are directly on the lake. I've been going there since 1965 shortly after the reservoir was built. It was nothing to pull out 24

We bought our camper last year to get it ready for our big adventure. We finally got it out this year, spent a couple of nights out in the beautiful Tucannon river valley. It’s just a couple of hours from where we live in eastern Washington.

#434 - Steve and Teresa GomezBear Glacier, Stewart, British Columbia2014 Ford F-3502015 Host MammothCamera Used - Nikon D3300On our return from Alaska we followed the Cassiar Highway south to Stewart and Hyder, Alaska. We wanted to watch the bears that frequent Fish Creek. The Bear Glacier is just outside of Stewart on the road into town. The larger Salmon Glacier is also accessible via truck camper, after you pass through Stewart and then into Hyder, Alaska. The Salmon Glacier is actually located in British Columbia, but is only accessible by following a narrow gravel road 30 miles past Fish Creek in Hyder. We off-loaded our camper in the campground before following the road to the Salmon Glacier.

#436 - Tim ZehWest Elk Scenic Byway, Colorado2005 Chevrolet 35002007 Arctic Fox 1150Camera Used - Panasonic DMC FZ200We had camped the night before at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and drove to West Elk Scenic Byway which circles the West Elk Wilderness Area. We stopped at the North Rim of the Black Canyon and continued on up the WESB. When you get to the north end of the loop, the road turns to very nice gravel road, Route 12. We took that for about 20 miles. We found this pull-off on the way to Kebler Pass. The mountains and the trees were beautiful. We find more fantastic places like this by exploring.

#437 - Christelle SheldonWinston-Salem, North Carolina1995 Ford F-3502002 Lance 1130Camera Used - Canon EOS 80DFill'er up! My husband and I had been camping near Winston-Salem in North Carolina. We discovered that nearby was this old gas station, which had been restored and preserved. This is one of the original Shell gas stations built in the 1930s and one of the last remaining of its kind in the country. It sits in the corner of a residential neighborhood. While the pumps no longer work, anyone can drive right up to get a close look. It was such a fun window into the past, and we were able to peer inside the locked shell building, which housed antique memorabilia and insignias related to gas stations and Shell Oil. Surprisingly enough, we were the only visitors on this particular Wednesday morning and seized the opportunity to take some fun shots of our truck camper in an old-timey service station!

But the beauty of this place is not only enjoyed during the day. At night, the Guajira gave us the most starry sky of our lives. That night our truck camper became a thousand-star hotel.

Cañón del Pato (Duck Canyon) was as spectacular as it gets. Narrow one lane road with vertigo inducing drops up to 1000 meters snakes along a path hewn out of sheer rock and passes through 35 tunnels, hand-cut through solid rock.

A truck camper is the best way to visit Alaska. You can park it anywhere and the truck handles the rough roads well.

We stopped for the evening along a small creek. There was already a foot of snow, and that night brought another six inches. It was a winter wonderland and our truck camper made it possible.

We went here on our way home from a five month 12000 mile trip from southern Arizona to Alaska. There was a beautiful sunset over the Beartooths and a sunrise the next morning. Two hours after sunrise two inches of snow were on the ground. Our 865 has windows that wrap all around the back side, which is perfect for places like this. Just sit back, watch it snow, and enjoy your coffee.

During our 10,000 mile, two month trip we were fortunate to find many great out of way places and fascinating views.

I noted when we pulled over that it was a fantastic area in which we could camp. I saw an Iron Ranger, filled out my envelope, inserted my $6 and slowly worked my way across the Canyon rocks to this fantastic campsite. We setup and stayed there a couple days taking in these gorgeous views and never saw another camper. This place really left lasting and almost spiritual effect me.

We had an adult beverage while sitting in front of our rig to get out of the wind. As the shadows from the clouds and rain showers raced across the landscape, I stood up and turned around to head back to the cooler and oh my goodness! Look at the rainbows! This was without doubt the most intense rainbow I have ever seen. I grabbed my camera and shot off a bunch of images framing our camper among the sagebrush and mountains. It pays to look the other way now and then!

Overnight brought an accumulation of 10 inches of snow, with unsafe road conditions, so we hunkered down for 48 hours to wait out the storm. Comfort food, Netflix, and lots of propane were consumed. After the snow passed, we watched people struggling in cars and RVs to unbury themselves. We really appreciated the fact that our trusty truck camper had no problem climbing out over the snow. Truck campers are versatile and give us the freedom to venture into questionable terrain and

After making our way across the interior, we took our time coming down the coast. We enjoyed exploring as many seaside towns as we could and loved seeing all the lighthouses along the way. While camping in the area, we discovered this cove in Southport, Maine. It had a small lighthouse on private property. We were able to position ourselves along this public beach. Relaxing here, we ate dinner and watched the sunset and the lighthouse in full operation from the comfort of our little camper home.

Originally I was disappointed when I saw that cold temperatures and overcast skies were forecasted. Hiking and driving through the giant sequoia trees were breathtaking with the mist and fog. It made the trip much better than I expected.

This particular photo was taken at the beautiful Lake Abiquiu in northern New Mexico. Anyone who has been to this region can attest to the natural beauty of the landscape. There's nothing more freeing than being out in the open air.

This is some real John Wayne country; the landscape where the young Duke was the hero in early westerns.

#494 - Wayne PetrieLake Geneva, Wisconsin2012 Ford F-2502012 Northstar 850 SCCamera Used - Canon EOS Rebel T6iThis shot was taken on my family's farm in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. When we do not travel with the camper we take it off the truck, keep it at our farm and camp some nights there. My Dad spent his retirement years building the property into a park-like setting with five ponds, over a thousand trees planted and 40+ acres of mowed grass! The rest of the property is rented to a local crop farmer.The picture was at sunrise in late July. The pond was occupied by Canadian Geese and Whitetail Deer grazed in the field next to us. The star of the show were two pairs of Sandhill Cranes as they searched the fields for their breakfast. Sunrise was spectacular on the old Oaks over the camper.So many of the calendar pictures seem to be of the grand landscapes in the western part of the country. I thought this contrasted with the lush green of the upper Midwest and a different kind of beauty!

#496 - Wayne PetrieKeweenaw Rocket Range, Lake Superior, Michigan2012 Ford F-2502012 Northstar 850 SCCamera Used - Canon EOS Rebel T6iThis shot was taken at sunrise on September 6th at the very tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Keweenaw Rocket Range is a very remote spot ten miles off any paved road. The trails into the area are logging roads and ATV trails. The last two miles were very tight, literally an inch or two of clearance in many spots. You'd never get in there with a hard side truck camper. But it is worth the effort. It is the northern most spot you can be at the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, right on the shore of Lake Superior and looking out at the lighthouse on Manitou Island.This shot is not that spectacular and really doesn't do the location justice. A drone would have been the way to go, but I don't have one of those. I think the picture is special because of the effort to get there and uniqueness of the spot. From Wikipedia: The Keweenaw Rocket Range was an isolated launch pad located in U.S. state of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula. It was used between 1964 and 1971 for launching rockets for meteorological data collection. NASA, along with the University of Michigan, conducted the project under the lead of Dr. Harold Allen. To think that my truck was parked in the same spot Nasa was launching rockets from in the late 60s!
