There used to be a thread on the truck camper forum -- "A Camper with a View" or something like that. It would be great if us TT folks could have our own version of that. The rule was that the photo had to include a portion of the door frame or window frame, so that it was clear that the photo was taken from the trailer itself.
(Feel free to break that rule, since there is no way of enforcing it. And who needs rules, anyways? Also, I admit this is asking a lot -- how are you going to produce new photos taken from your trailer, when camping season is at an end? Maybe we will get more participation next summer . . . . )
Anyway, I'll start the game: We got back a few weeks ago from a month of (mostly) boondocking and dry camping in Utah's Uintas, Idaho's Boulder Mtns. and the Salmon Valley/Sawtooths, Nevada's Great Basin National Park, and the Eastern Sierra. I am still struggling with my blog entries for each of those places. But here are my "door shots" from that trip.
This is not far from Washington Lake, Utah. Those are Bald Mtn. and Reid's Peak, each about 12,000 feet. We were camped at 10,000 feet:

This is in the Boulder Mountains of Idaho, north of Ketchum, just after a dusting of snow:

This is in the Salmon River Valley of Idaho, south of Stanley -- that's the Galena Summit area in the background:

This is the sunrise on the Sierra at Onion Valley Campground, near Independence, Calif.:

OK, now it's your turn!

Mazatlan, Sinaloa Mexico on the Isla de Piedra.
This place looks awesome! I goggled it and came up with their website and got a lot of great info. I'm trying to plan a extended trip to Mexico next year and this looks like my kind of place! I live in northern CA so the only draw back is that it's a long haul down there. Looks like 3 long days of driving each way. That would burn up a lot of vacation time just on the road. Sure looks like a great place to stay.
There are lots of good stops along the way that would make it an easy trip or maybe not go that far. Baja California is another great option. We like Loreto on the Sea of Cortez. Even just south of Ensenada is good.
La Isla de Piedra has a great paved road now which makes it quick. The rv park is standard but as you can see, the views are incredible. Just a lot of fun to wake up in the mornings and be at the beach. You can take the lancha (boat) to the city of Mazatlan for a few cents and have the best of both worlds.
