Who has a better camp site than me?

A couple of my favorite camps in Baja: Playa La Perla and El Requeson. They are both a couple miles away (by kayak) from Buenaventura bar. A great place to see the Super Bowl. Paddling further out into the channel are the dolphins. Normally the Bay of Conception is very calm, sunny and warm.

We discovered the Buenaventura bar this year. What a fun, friendly place. We stopped for lunch on Super Bowl Sunday, they made room for us and served some excellent barbecue!

Coming back from a two-week rafting trip on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, I thought I would delay my entry into civilization for a bit. So I found a little forest with a hot spring and wonderful views. Unbeknownst to me, shortly after I found a secluded campsite, the sheriff came through and told everybody to leave, but completely missed me. Then they put concrete blocks across the entrance to the forest. Good thing I have enough food in the van for a couple weeks, but… NO BEER!!! I wonder if I can get that choppered in.... [emoji848]
Not sure what I’m going to do all day....
Cheers,
Greg

The best form of "social distancing" there is.I think I'd like to be at Calbiker's Baja campsite right now, but I settled for (illegal) dispersed camping in Moab yesterday. Technically illegal, since Moab closed all camping, including dispersed, but I was driving through at 10 pm and just pulled off to sleep.

Beautiful, but testicle-shriveling sand.

If I remember correctly many of those beaches are just a few inches of sand over rock? But yeah, deep sand and heavy vans...

Frito is my daily driver from March to December. During the depths of winter, he sleeps in the shop and I drive the Ridgeline. This is rural Western Canada, after all.
As a daily driver, he's perfect. The only disadvantage is parking garages - all interdit. Overheight. I don't care. I'm seldom in a city. A T1N is so easy to park, I can always find somewhere.
Frito consumes 0.6X $ per mile of fuel compared to the Honda.

the best dream, reality
That's about how I would use one. I started thinking about getting one quite a while back while sitting in traffic. The dream scenario is to use it as a mobile office. Leave early, beat the traffic, work until the lifts start running, ski a couple hours, work till 3, ski the last 1.5hrs when the hill is empty, work some more or just hang out in the van until traffic subsides. No overnight camping allowed where I go. Plus, when there is no traffic it's only a 25 minute drive home (can be hours when the road is bad and traffic heavy).
Take the occasional spring, summer, fall trips.
I do need the 4x4, since the road is often restricted to 4x4 or chains. Of course that doesn't stop the people with 4x4 and bad tires from slowing down the traffic.
I almost bought one a few years back when the 4x4 just came out but couldn't get past the size of the vehicle. The old T1N 118" was as big as I ever wanted. I decided I didn't need one but this year the desire for a new vehicle is returning.
