4 days solo beach camping
First time solo dispersed camping
Camping rules : Last person who puts wood on the fire, has to stay up until it’s out.
Incredible backcountry trip this past weekend to Lower Blue Lake near Telluride, CO
While camping i found an abandoned geocache from 2010
Camped across the country alone for seven weeks
Super bloom NE Arizona
Turns out a rooftop tent on the coast of Nova Scotia is apparently where I sleep best.
My health kept me from nature for 2 years, but just spent almost a week camping again. Feels so good to be back.
When hell froze over on our campsite [OC]
