#507 - Tim VandiverRussellville, Alabama1968 Ford F2501966 WinnebegoCamera Used - PhoneIn this photo I was on my way to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee to a car show in September. I camped at the KOA campground in Pigeon Forge. Staying in the camper was so much fun. People were constantly coming by and looking at the camper and truck. I also got a lot of thumbs up going down the interstate. I plan on using the camper a lot more in the future. I just purchased the camper and truck in August 2018 in Minnesota. The camper and truck are in excellent condition. Many people have looked at it and talked about how they had a similar one like it when they were kids.

#514 - Scott KimbroGrand Teton National Park, Wyoming2015 Ford F-3502017 Lance 855SCamera Used - iPhone8 PlusI captured this photo as I was leaving Jackson, Wyoming after a month-long adventure in and around the Greater Yellowstone area. I departed before sunrise and had an idea that my timing may provide for a few photo opportunities on the drive out. I didn't think I would capture such an amazing shot of my rig framed with the moon setting over the Tetons at sunrise. I am really happy with how it turned out, especially with the moon and the way the front cap of my Lance just perfectly contours with the Grand. In all honesty, I didn't notice this until after I got home and looked at the photos - pretty crazy!

#514 - Scott Kimbro

#515 - Scott KimbroBighorn Mountains, Wyoming2015 Ford F-3502017 Lance 855SCamera Used - iPhone8 PlusThe Bighorn Mountains are one of our favorite places to camp with our Lance. You just can't beat the sense of freedom and peacefulness that you can achieve when dispersed camping in the National Forest. On our most recent trip over Labor Day, we had one of our best experiences yet as we were able to setup in the perfect spot up on a ridgeline overlooking a beautiful meadow. As luck would have it, shortly after this photo was taken, a huge bull moose came out of his day bed and made his way through the meadow, just 40 yards away. It's always a treat to see wildlife, but a mature bull moose in your camp is extra special.

#516 - Kayla HagenLake of the Pines, Wisconsin2018 Chevy Silverado 35002018 Northstar LaredoCamera Used - Canon Rebel xsiThis was our first year with our truck camper and we are loving truck camper life. We want to explore the entire country, but unfortunately we only have two weeks of vacation from work a year so we make the most of the time we have. We love fall weather and we take a trip every year to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This year we drove to Wisconsin where the fall colors are beautiful! We love to go off the beaten path and camp in national forest areas where it is less crowded and more rustic. We were in the Flambeau River State Forest in the middle of the week in October and there was no one else camping and it was our favorite place of the trip.

#517 - Chloé and Toby ConroySalmon Glacier in Hyder, Alaska2004 Dodge Ram 35002017 Cirrus 820Camera Used - iPhoneWe drove beyond the lookout to the Salmon Glacier to find the old and no longer through road where we camped in this spot for the night.

#518 - Chloé and Toby ConroyDenali Highway, Alaska2004 Dodge Ram 35002017 Cirrus 820Camera Used - Canon Rebel T6iWe spent the summer in Alaska, driving pretty much every road we could, and even drove the Denali Highway twice since the first time we drove it, we had rain and fog and minimal visibility. The second time we drove it, we had incredible views, including the Aurora Borealis/Northern Lights as seen in this picture.

#519 - Chloé and Toby ConroyDenali Highway, Alaska2004 Dodge Ram 35002017 Cirrus 820Camera Used - Canon Rebel T6iWe spent the summer exploring Alaska driving as far north as we could and all the way down it. The first time we drove the Denali Highway was during rain and fog and we had no views of the mountains. We returned with better weather and spent a couple of nights in this spot watching northern lights and beautiful views all around us.

#520 - Tim CostelloUtah2014 Ram 15002017 Capri Camper CowboyCamera Used - PhoneAfter a hunting buddy of mine passed away, I had an epiphany and finally got the guts up enough to quit my job, sell a lot of my stuff, and travel the country hunting and fishing. I found myself in Utah after spending some time in Colorado. I was heading to hit this peak when the roads started getting testy. I started running through this mixture of ice, mud, and sho snow, and the ole four wheel drive 1500 held strong. I was met with an awesome view and an incredible sky line.

#524 - Bryan ApplebyValley of the Gods, Utah2008 Ford F5502009 Lance 1191Camera Used - Nikon DSLRAs a full time truck camper I have the luxury to travel anywhere and stay for long periods in the desert, without hookups or supplies. This is known as Boondocking. One of my favorite base camp areas is found in the southeast corner of Utah. This affords me many opportunities of hiking, photographing, exploring National Parks, and motorcycle riding in the surrounding desert.

#526 - Andy LongSun Valley, Idaho2004 Dodge 25001978 Okanagan CamperCamera Used - iPhone 7As we headed down the Oregon Coast I found out that Lukas Nelson (Willie’s Kid) was playing a show at the Sun Valley Pavilion. We quickly hammered on the brakes and headed for Idaho. As we pulled into town, the rodeo grounds were right beside the Pavilion. We drove up, parked, opened up the back camper door and had a couple cold ones and headed for the show. Truck camper life is the best life.

On our way through the Watchman Wilderness Area of Utah we pulled off the side of the road for a break and this picture was taken. I loved the starkness of the terrain against the blue sky with our home on wheels in the foreground.

#534 - Brent BrummertMillerstown, Pennsylvania2018 Ram 35002018 Northstar 12 STCCamera Used - iPhone 6 plusI am a Registered Nurse who recently decided to go travel nursing in southern California. In July my wife, two year old, two month old, Doberman pinscher and I moved into our special ordered Northstar 12STC to live in full time just to see if we could do it. After many trials we have started to feel like it’s home. We chose a camper with no slides so we could be as stealthy as possible since we boondock 100% of the time. We refuse to ever stay at an RV park. Recently moving to Los Angeles has exposed us to some of the worst people I have ever met. Two men tried to rob us in Costa Mesa, a hit and run to the front of our truck in Long Beach and someone last week stole several of our belongings off the rear of the camper that I forgot to lock down. The attempted robbery did not go well as they weren’t counting on seeing Hellboy (our Doberman pinscher) coming around the corner. Probably very lucky for them as my wife and I are always armed and have no problem doing whatever it takes to protect our family. As for now, the adventure continues.

We were in Yellowstone to celebrate because we actually met in Yellowstone. Both of us were employees at Canyon Village when we met on June 6th, 1979. Being able to come back to the park for June 6th, 2018 was pretty special!

#545 - Joan ThompsonGull Point picnic area on Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming2011 GMC Sierra 35002013 Lance 1191Camera Used - Samsung Galaxy S7EdgeWe had spent the afternoon parked along Yellowstone lake at the edge of the road that leads to this picnic area. We were relaxing and eating our lunch when suddenly our dog started carrying on in a way we had never quite seen. We spent some time trying to convince her to stop barking but finally realized that she was barking at something unusual in the lake just off the shore. It turned out to be a huge grizzly bear that had just left the shoreline near our lunch spot and was swimming toward Bridge Bay. After watching the bear swim for at least a half hour (we were amazed that it survived the ice cold water) we decided to continue down the road to this picnic area and cook some steaks for supper. As soon as my husband put the steaks on the grill, a fellow picnicker informed us that there had been a sub-adult male grizzly hanging around the picnic area just before we pulled in. Needless to say, we decided to eat the steaks inside the camper instead of using the lovely table pictured here!

#546 - Joan ThompsonAlong highway 2 in Eastern Montana2011 GMC Sierra 35002013 Lance 1191Camera Used - Samsung Galaxy S7EdgeWe live in Wisconsin and often travel to visit our daughter in northwest Montana, so we're familiar with just about every possible route from here to there. When we planned a trip out there in May this year, we decided we couldn't stand the interstate boredom, so we headed out across Highway 2. Of course, we were reminded that Highway 2 across North Dakota and Eastern Montana has its own style of monotony! My husband found train-watching to be a pretty fun diversion, and for for the first time in my life, I agreed with him on this subject. I was extra-bored because I'd mistakenly left a critical pair of knitting needles at home. He refers to this as

If only there was a headphone jack to plug into like Jodi Foster did. The ATA is a centimeter-wave array which uses many (42 at the time of my visit and up to 350 were originally planned for this location) Small-Diameter concept radio telescopes. Compared to a large dish, many smaller dishes are cheaper for the same collecting area as long as the necessary computing power to translate the data can be put in place. This shot was on a Sony a7s and 24-70 f/4.

We had an opportunity to photograph time lapse sequences at the observatory after hours, when our telescope tour was completed we parked near the deserted Cosmic Cafe and set up camp. The silence, the moonlight, the view was incredible. The full harvest moon illuminated a thick cloud layer as it rolled in and hid the city below us. At over 5,500 feet the view is spectacular and we wouldn't know millions of people lived in the city below us.

It's a great place to watch dolphins, whales, sea otters and surfers in the Monterey Bay Peninsula. We love to park our Lance truck camper and watch the sun glisten off the sea at sunset. Beach Bum Boondocking is the life for us!

Portage Valley is the gateway to Whittier, Alaska through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel which is 2.5 miles long. It is the longest highway tunnel in North America. Passing through the tunnel brings you from the Turnagain Arm and Cook Inlet area to Prince William Sound. Typically the weather is always different at each end of the tunnel. This area is known for its beauty with many glaciers, waterfalls, and friendly hiking trails.
