If you’re a camping snob, you can pass this post up! I have no shame in RV, van or camper life. I love it as much as I do tent camping in the backcountry. They’re both completely different experiences and I enjoy them all…

Today we should be heading into camp at Consultation Lake, below Trail Camp. Instead we are on the road to Joshua Tree. I looked into Langley, San Jacinto, Mt. Baldy and San Gorgonio but to be honest, I didn’t want to deal with those…
