Car Camping off the 395 | Inyo National Forest
On this adventure, I camped along the 395 on my way to Lake Tahoe to meet up some friends. I wanted to break up the trip in half and this was the perfect midway stopover. Plenty of space and was all by my lonesome. Just me, the trees and some good beer and food!
And apologies for the clipped audio! Still trying to figure out a solution for when it gets a tad bit windy.

Solo Car Camping in the California High Desert | Trona Pinnacles
zhlédnutí 2,7KPřed měsícem
Trona Pinnacles had been on my list for quite some time and I finally had the opportunity to take the trip during the Memorial Day weekend. Lemme tell you...the tufa spires are just as captivating in real life as they look in the pictures. Very surreal to have a place like this only 3 hours away from Los Angeles. Also, I hadn't been camping in the heat AND high winds in a while so please enjoy ...

After fighting a bout of bronchitis the last few weeks, I'm finally back outside! Though initially, this trip didn't go as planned. The campsite I wanted to hit up had a road closure and then my main camera decided to crap out on me. But I just had to overcome, improvise and keep pushing! I ended up finding a spot that allows for dispersed camping near Jenks Lake. It was a great chance to test ...
