We aren’t messing with it. We’re waiting for the country to learn to use masks (unlikely). We’re trying to do our part so right now we’re staying at my in-laws/in the truck but only in local areas (New York) and taking temporary trips. If other states ever figure it out we’ll be on the road again.
A few weeks ago we went from New York to Maine. It was a huge breath of fresh air because being at the in-laws so often is not ideal, lol. But even though Maine has done a decent job with the masks, it was still hard to find legal places to camp as most areas were still closed. You’d think camping = the best way to social distance.

Been a while since I've posted in here, but I did a thing. Only took nearly a year but I finally made a video of the camper. Filming videos makes me feel like a lobotomy would probably be more fun. Let me know where I can improve. 
Also, the gimbal has a mind of its own I swear its not me.

Thank you!
Haha, you're close but the truth is I was a hippie that joined the USMC for the experience. Now I'm just my old self again and it feels kind of nice.Whoa, life on the road has transformed you from a marine into a hippy.J/K.
Looks like you and the wife (and the dogs) are having quite an adventure. Hope it's still a lot of fun for you.
Whoa, never would've thought I'd see a Tacoma friend here either! And thank you.

That camper is Da Bomb. I might have said that already.

I suspected! No judgement here, though, because I've spent the majority of my life as a long-haired hippy. Finally cut it short several years ago because I was lazy and didn't want to mess with it any more - plus I got tired of people telling me I looked like Jesus.

Nice. I'd drive that.sixlxvi is a modern-day hippie. For a true, hair-raising adventure you need one of these:

I'm looking at a "relative" here. 
I'm thinking my next vehicle may be a 4Runner Limited, since I want a true 4WD setup. An FJ Cruiser was a possibility but it might be a bit too quirky as this also has to be a daily driver for me when we're not on a road trip. I like traveling on the unpaved roads in Utah and Colorado. None of the heavy duty rock climbing, but if you know BLM146/Potash Rd. and surrounding trails in Utah, that's what we're interested in. It's just a long process finding a used one in my price range. And with the economy having tanked, it's a year or two off now anyways.
Enjoying the photos here!

You're welcome. And since this thread is now bumped, here's a photo of where we slept a few days ago.

Actually your HiLux is probably a better vehicle.

If you ever travel the Pike's Peak Highway, you'll pass this sign on the way up.
Not my photo--I was too busy driving (and speeding up to avoid Bigfoot, of course).
Yes...it's a real sign.

Gotta hand it to those bigfoots - staying much better hidden since they found out all the humans are carrying around HD cameras connected to 5G internet. Where's all the HD footage of them we should have seen tons of by now?If you ever travel the Pike's Peak Highway, you'll pass this sign on the way up.

They are smarter than they look.
And I think they use a Klingon cloaking device, or something, when humans enter the area...
