This is our 2002 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 truck camper. While the Tacoma platform is obviously a very popular one for this style of travel, not too many people seem to set theirs up in this manner. Here, I’ll go over how we set up our camper for living out of for up to weeks at a time.

Spending time in the stillness of the Mojave Desert in the months following a devastating wildfire that blazed through the area last year.

Nine days of camping and hiking through the Eastern Sierra Nevada during the summer following an above average snowfall winter.

A trip through Southern Arizona documented on various film formats.
