Would love to tackle the JMT next year.
We've had some...equipment problems this year, so our Yellowstone/Grand Canyon trip has been cancelled. Probably going to do some trips to the coast, maybe over to Spokane and a couple of local lakes is all.
We're pretty bummed about cancelling the big trip, but the budget got depleted by repair costs.
Kaido, I've been looking into similar setups. Conversion vans, RV's, trailer's, etc. Here's a good forum related to that 4x4 van you linked to: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/58-4wd-(and-2WD)-Camper-Vans
Until then, I want to get me on one of these bad boys for a 3 week tour of the flyover states (aka the BBQ states)

when i was in the keys a couple months ago at bahia honda state park i saw they have camp grounds there. i've never camped there but damn that would be awesome to camp there right on the beach.
i also saw people camping at dry tortugas when i visited there a couple years ago. that too would be so awesome to camp on that little island.
Wallowa is great. My mom grew up on the other side of the blues in Halfway. She took as back several times and I flew her down there for her last trip.You have my sympathy. :biggrin:
We live on the south Oregon coast but still love to camp all along it. We're planning a camping trip to Cape Perpetua in mid July and then heading inland to Wallowa Lake State Park in late August.
I'll be in Utah in May, mostly the Zion to Escalante region. I'll be doing every non-technical slot canyon that I can get to (and some technical ones with a guide). Your itinerary made me jealous and anxious for my trip.Already spent time this year in:
Zion - Angels Landing + Scouts Lookout
Bryce - Navajo Loop + Queens Garden + Sunset/Sunrise points. Mossy Cave
GSENM - Backcountry trail to Kaiparowits Plateau, Slot canyon, Lower Calf Creek Falls
KodaChrome - Angels Palace, Shakespeare Arch + Sentinel
Grand Canyon Mather point
Saguaro National Park
Painted Rocks - Gila River
We have a few reservations at state parks, along with our beach lot when the weather is good.
Going tomorrow to Belfair.
Who has plans to go camping? New equipment?
