#003 - Ric DoedensSan Jon, New Mexico2021 Chevy Silverado 35002021 Cirrus 820Camera Used - iPhone 8I traveled to Quartzite from Toronto to do some exploring on my dirt bike.  At various spots along the way I would find myself in proximity of the legendary Route 66. It was surreal to see how it has been transformed into a “ghost-highway” where countless roadside businesses and homes have been left abandoned as a consequence of building the larger interstate highway.

#005 - John VirnigCedar Lake, North Dakota2002 Ford F3502010 Lance 950Camera Used - iPhone 13I have been stopping at Cedar Lake, North Dakota for twenty years as part of my fall bird hunting travels. I have seen many spectacular sunsets and sunrises from this spot. Basically I’m boondocking as no services exist. In my opinion, fall is the time to visit. There are pleasant temperatures and fall colors. Beware there are bird hunters about.

#006 - Jeff Van PeskiSkydive Chicago, Ottawa, Illinois2022 Ford F1502022 Cirrus 620Camera Used - iPhone 8+We stayed at Skydive Chicago, a small airport with a skydiving program. All afternoon the quiet of this setting was punctuated by the excitement of watching people glide out of the sky and land a hundred feet in front of us. In the morning, the sun rose on a heavy dew and it was so quiet and beautiful.

#007 - Jeff Van PeskiCrested Butte, Colorado2022 Ford F1502022 Cirrus 620Camera Used - iPhone 8+We’d spent a night tucked up high in a valley, and we’re headed back south. The owner of an outdoor store in Crested Butte had told us about a back way down to Black Canyon of Gunnison, and we tried it. It was so beautiful, with the aspen leaves at the end of their fall colors, and it was practically deserted. We kept pulling over to take pictures, which made for a long, but enjoyable trip!

We walked along the beautiful shoreline and were treated to a gorgeous slow sunset. Perfect end to a travel day!

#009 - Tommy SmithSacramento Mountains in southern New Mexico2016 Toyota Tundra2023 Palomino SS-550Camera Used - PhoneTraveling in the Sacramento Mountains in early January provided the seclusion we desired. We chose a spot off a Forest Service Road that placed us beside a small creek tucked into a narrow valley. The weather was very cold and snowy, yet we stayed warm in our camper.

#010 - Tommy SmithSacramento Mountains in southern New Mexico2016 Toyota Tundra2023 Palomino SS-550Camera Used - iPhone 13 ProIt was the middle of the week, cold and snowy in the Sacramento Mountains. A perfect combination to ensure we almost had the mountains to ourselves. We found a pretty spot alongside a creek and decided to make camp for the night. After dinner, knowing it was a full moon that night, I stepped outside to have a look. The moon was so bright and the air so clear.  It really lit up the little valley as it shone through the peaks on either side.

#012 - Ryan AndersonAlbuquerque, New Mexico2022 RAM 35002023 Arctic Fox 1150Camera Used - PhoneThis photo was taken on the way home from Idaho Falls back to central Texas with our newly purchased 2023 Arctic Fox 1150. We went through quite the weather, pretty much everything other than tornados and hurricanes. Our truck was covered with some serious snow and mud.  We just couldn’t be driving such a swank setup all dirty... yet!  We stopped at a truck wash and were able to get the salt and everything else rinsed before continuing on our journey.  First Wash!

#013 - Bob FrazierSalton Sea, California2012 Ford F3502001 Bigfoot 2500Camera Used - Samsung Note 9On our 28 day trip through the American Southwest we were constantly being buffeted by atmospheric rivers of wind and rain. Here we were perched on the edge of a cliff, with one of those incredible winds shaking us all night to the point we joked about we tipping over! The sunrise over the Salton Sea beautifully lit these bizarre high wind clouds in colors so vivid I’m still in shock at the beauty of the sunrise, the clouds, and the incredible desert landscape.This area of deep canyons is seven miles west of the Salton Sea, and on public land. We had been there before, but with the four wheel drive boondocking capability, our rig allowed us to select what we felt was an otherworldly spot right on the cliffside.We travel with our two Australian Sheppards and boondock 95% of the time… and why not?  We all love to go.
