Topa Topa Mtn. For a night......

[Tomas Tierra]

Hello All Respected Wanderers,

The Wife and I took our 18 month old son up to the Topa Topa mountain above Ojai CA the other night for our first night in our new camper...

Some photos..

We gave directions to a buddy and he joined us late in the afternoon with his Tacoma and Ranger II package..

The trip up the hill is 3000' feet and four low most of the way....FUN!!!! 4wd a must for this spot. Shots of my buddy's rig..

I've been trying to get him to join the forum..Maybe these shots of His rig will kick him into gear!

Wow Tom, looks like a great trip. Definitely my style of camping. Any chance of getting more details on the area.

Trip....

Great place and photos Tom. Nice looking family as well. We do 95% of our camping in places like that...remote. remote, remote. I hope to do one more short trip before I have surgery for a lung spot and it will be in the Jemez area of northern NM. I will post some photos from that....don't know how remote we can camp there but will try.

And that's what makes it all worthwhile. Nice lookin' family and set up Tomas.

The sun shade looks like a smart investment. That's a Kelty right? I like the stance on your T100 too. I just love 'em, roomy but not too big, reliable and a nice ride. I've really enjoyed my T100 a lot more than I anticipated.

Your friends Tacoma is a good looking outfit too. What does he carry all rolled up, tucked between the rear bumper and camper?

Glad to see the maiden run went so well. You've got some nice and remote looking areas to check out. Love the full moon shot through the sun shade.

Cheers -

great photos, nice rigs, looks like an awesome time...just got back from a trip to colorado this afternoon and those pics make me want to go right back out again tonight! really sharp trucks, thanks for posting!

any info on that shade you use tom...looks pretty sweet, how is it in high winds?

 

[Tomas Tierra]

Erod, Ithought you might like all the Taco shots....
Shade no bueno in much wind at all. But very versatile, You can zip tie it to anything to adjust the height. Litlle screw in eye hooks are handy as well. It's made by Kelty, I've enjoyed it for 10 years. Just broke a pole in april,Death Valley, they replaced it under warranty.



Kcowyo, Thank You. Yeah the t100 is good but it won't fit my 7 y/o daughter and the Boy, and the Wife, got a tundra I'm dressing up for the camper. It fits so darn good on the long bed though..trying to milk as many more trips as possible out of the old t-100..I had a '95 t100 for a while to, VERY nice truck.
My buddy carries indoor outdoor carpet all rolled up..

Brian, Thank you. Good luck with the surgery Mate..
