Today’s #TentViewTuesday comes from Saturday morning at Bonito Campground in the Coconino #NationalForest in #Arizona. #camping
The two most likely vehicle problems are flat tires and dead batteries. Both of these are usually easily fixable.
Have a spare tire, a way to fix a tire, and a portable tire inflator. And carry a battery jumper (and normal jumper cables too) for your battery. At minimum, they’ll save you a ton of frustration when something eventually goes wrong.
Sharing Sequoia
From a post nine years ago today:
Later today, I’m making a return visit to Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. Sequoia is a special park for me—it was my first visit there back in 1998 that sparked my excitement about visiting the big name western national parks.
I returned the following summer with Kim, eager to show her the amazing place I had experienced. That trip, captured in the photo below, really launched what would become my lifelong national parks quest and my passion for road trips. I’d return again—several times—each visit bringing someone else who really needed to experience it, too. This trip follows that same tradition, as I’m introducing six of my closest backpacking friends to one of the places I treasure the most in this world.

National Forest sunset
Hand-carved with love at our USFS campground
The appropriate way to watch a sunset over the San Francisco Peaks is from a tailgate with some fancy ice cream.
Loved this fun dark shark-shaped cloud last night, set against a fading sunset background.
…then stopped by an old house on a rock…
Camped at the edge of a lava flow last night…
Morning view.
Yesterday’s evening view from an International Dark Sky Park
Always a view to appreciate when youre escaping Phoenix temps.
Today's #FootPathFriday is from Jupiter Inlet Outstanding Natural Area in Florida, one of the few BLM sites located in the East.
#opcOnThisDay in 2019, I completed my decades-long quest to visit all 400+ national parks in the US with an all day boat tour in Glacier Bay National Park.
Of course, I had to riff a little on my somewhat-infamous park number signs…

Today is the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, a series of protests often credited as the defining event that launched the gay rights movement. I visited Stonewall Inn and Christopher Park days before it was designated a national monument in 2016.
Enjoying the view
