Yosemite-Idaho-Oregon-Nor Cal
« on: October 17, 2010, 05:22:21 PM »
I just got back from a long trip seeing parts of the country I've been itching to explore.

Link to my route:


First stop was Yosemite.  I've been there numerous times but was ready to go again.  I spent 4 days there and it rained the entire time.

I pretty much drove straight through Nevada camping one night on BLM land outside of Winnemucca.  It rained my entire drive through Nevada too.

I was kind of lost on the road below.  Both my GPS and map were pointing me in a direction where no trail existed.  Eventually the road narrowed and narrowed until it was a barely worn dual track.  I turned around and backtracked 50 miles.

Bella is probably almost as tall as the moose.



Looks like a great trip Jeff. Nice pictures.  Too bad it rained so much in Nevada, that is a fun place to explore.

Kill the headlights and put it in neutral.

Great!  So easy to pack and unpack it's not really an issue moving every day.  But, if I was staying in one place for a week and needed to drive my truck everyday it would get annoying putting it away everyday.  I was lucky that for the Yosemite portion of the trip I had a couple friends join me so we used their vehicles.  In a perfect world I'd have the tent on a trailer so I could leave the trailer behind.

Those are some really beautiful pictures in what looks to have been an amazing trip, can't beat some of those locations (Yosemite is a favorite of mine)!

Sweet trip!

Is that the mist trail in the first few pics?  I haven't been there in too long.
I like sammiches.  And bacon.  Sammiches with bacon.  And chips.  Lots of chips.
