Camera Used – Galaxy smartphone
I was visiting my Dad in Pennsylvania during our 4,000 mile adventure. His neighbor said we could park in his field and camp. Smoke, fog, and the sunrise combined for a beautiful picture.

Camera Used – Nikon D40
We had a wonderful trip this year (after retiring) from our Home in Seeleys Bay, Ontario through five provinces to White Rock, British Columbia in the Vancouver Area, and back. We’ve been visiting long-lost cousins and enjoying the beautiful diverse landscapes of Canada. We’ve been long-time subscribers of TCM and we’ve had our truck and camper since 2008. It continues to serve us well and is a wonderful unit. The photo was taken between Lake Louise and Jasper Alberta on the Icefields Parkway. I’m sitting by my Camper awestruck by the beautiful scene.

This was taken southbound on the Dempster Highway near the Arctic Circle sign (other side of the road to the left of the wet fellow with the motorcycle), en route back to the US after a 21 June visit/overnight in Tuktoyaktuk on the shore of Arctic Ocean. We were stopped for lunch and then yet another round of mud removal from camper/truck lights. Let’s hear it for a side entry door.

We have always wanted to camp on the beach since we started truck camping. This was a wonderful beach! There was hardly anyone there in the fall. We were parked about four feet from high tide.

Northern end of Lake Powell, Utah
2022 Ford F250
2023 Supertramp Flagship LT
Camera Used – Google Pixel 7 Pro
I picked up my new camper from Supertramp in Golden, Colorado on July 28. From Golden, I took the long way home avoiding Interstate highways where possible. I originally came down south on 191 from Moab when I saw a sign for the Natural Bridges National Monument and Lake Powell. It has been 23 years since I was at Lake Powell.
When I came to this bridge crossing the Colorado River there was no traffic at all and I had all the time in the world to take pictures of the bridge, the canyon, and the river. I was also looking for cool shots of my rig and the light seemed just right to pull it into both lanes and take some pictures. The picture I submitted is one of my favorite shots while driving back from Golden, Colorado to San Diego, California.

I decided at the last minute to go check out Owens Valley because I heard there was still a lot of snow on the mountains. It was just a gorgeous five days.

Camera Used – Sony A6600, Tamron 18-300mm lens
We were exploring the Lake Powell area and found this large pull-off near the Wahweap viewpoint. Our family consists of my wife and myself, and two young girls and they were both hungry by the time we found this place. It was lunchtime so we popped the roof and felt lucky to have such a marvelous view out our dinette window while we ate.
