Photo shortcut test/my birthday week in photos

This is how I started the week. Trip to Mojave National Preserve with my wife, son and dog.

One of my two hiking partners on our 9.5 mile hike.

Spring time hiking while the dessert flowers bloom is one of my favorite things to do. I've done this hike two years in a row and never saw another soul the entire trip. Nobody for miles.
My other hiking partner this year included my son.

The next morning after our hike my wife and I drove straight up to Salt Lake City to pick up my birthday present (actually on the day of my birthday!)

We boondocked on the border of Valley of Fire before heading home the next day. Hope the picture shortcut works!!

Is there a way to preview what I might have submitted on here before I post?? Here goes nothing!

  • Stay tuned Mr. B, will attempt to reply tomorrow. I'll just state tonight that it wasn't an easy decision. So many pros and cons to both campers.
  • Excellent Trip Report, Michael. Made even better by getting a new truck camper. Happy Birthday to you. Maybe I might be the only one, but you changed from a pop up to a hard side. Why the change? You know there is that thinking that only pop up campers tread on dirt. Tell me you are not quitting going off road!

  • I would like to thank bka0721 for telling us about the photo shortcut link. He knows first hand how technologically challenged I can be despite my best efforts. There were many times I thought about posting a topic then changing my mind because the first reply would've been, no pictures, it didn't happen!!

    My gal was the one who strongly desired that rear awning. It extends and retracts with the push of a button. She was tired of me going off kayaking or hiking and not being able to manage the previous awning alone.
  • Congrats on the "hard top" and success in posting pics. Gotta love those rear awnings in the evenings. It sure is fun taking a new rig out the same day that you get it. We picked ours up in OR and camped all the way home.
