I posted these up in GD, but this seemed like a good place to put them as well.
Picture quality not great, all taken on my cell phone. I went out and scouted some water holes for the upcoming dove season. Plus I got a little 'me' time. Fire pit - half of an old jet engine transport case. 
Plenty of water (like 50,000 gallons) for washing and what not. Actually really good water when filtered. Comes out of the tank crystal clear. 
Yeah, there's trash there. The can came home with me, along with other junk. 
Little quail family. Mom, dad, and several little ones. Gonna be tasty come quail season. 
Moonrise over one of the water holes. Tons of animal tracks. Deer (probably mulies), coyote, what looked like bobcat, quail, etc. 
My little Savage 17HMR at sunset.. 
Getting the fire going. (yeah, it was still like 100f, but gotta have a fire)

Dinner.

Was out on the woods shooting today, so it's not realy camping, per se, but we did make a cooking fire for lunch- good firestarting practice for my ten year old- took a while for the sparks to take after two days of rain had saturated everything.

You guys got some cool pics, thats for sure. Heres a few from a couple adventures me and my buddy took a couple years ago. The time stamp is wrong on his camera, this was in 2006. We are over due for another trip.   Tree day canoe trip down the Rifle River. Had a good time and tested alot of gear out for our next trip. Got our butts chewed for camping outside of campsites though, more becouse they didnt know where we were.    These are from the best trip I was ever on. Its a boat in site up by Alpena. Noone around for miles and completely isolated. We power boated in so we were able to pack a little heavy and it was a good thing too. We burned a ton of calories during the day hiking, fishing and with camp chores. We were there for 5 days and it took us a day and a half to set up a very efficient camp that was well organized and weather proof and had firewood for the week. Fishing was a bit of a bust with me only catching 4 or 5 sunfish. But we did critque our gear and now have a line up that works well and packs down nice. |

Looks like a great spot! Pasthfinder The boat in site is of Cooke Dam. Awesome place to camp if you get to the more secluded spots. Theres an Island with a camp site on it too. We were just across form it but popped over to the island and hung out for the afternoon. I can get you the camp site number I think. Im pretty sure I still have that info saved in my favorites |

Most of those are the Mojave Road (central) which takes about three days to drive from outside of Barstow into Nevada. The central and eastern portions are the most fun. The last two pictures were the southern end of the Sierras. California has some sucky gun laws - I'm pre-ban on all of them - but some of the best off-road and camping to be had. There's everything from Glamis Dunes, to the redwoods, to the best fly fishing in the world, to the highest and lowest geography in the nation. |

I am not familiar with any aspects of that shelter except it is named the Icewater Shelter because it has a spring about 95 paces from the shelter and the water is 'ice' cold. This shelter is on the AT in the Great Smoky Mountains 2.7 miles from Newfound Gap Parking Lot. My night there was cold b/c I had a 40 degree bag in 20-25 degree temps. Is this the shelter you were referring to?

Mushroom hunting a couple of years ago with my brother and nephew in northern MI
Morels waiting for the pan 
morels dredged if butter and flour 
pheasants to go with the morels 
don't have pics of finished meal, you pick up a camera instead of a fork around them and you go hungry 
nephew is now in Navy and soon will be going to Bahrain, might be a while before the three of us do this again. Keep safe Kev!!! |

Oh, and in the first pic the further tent..that was the "shower tent" it had a shower head, a 12 volt pump, and a alligator clips that ran outside so you parked a vehicle beside the tent, and took a bucket of warm water in with you. It was wonderful to get a real and hot shower when you're in for more than a couple of days at a time. |

Tyler, great pics. What's your pack? I camped last weekend, a little too cold for the hammock I was in, but it was great listening to the coyotes as I shivered in my bag..... |

Agreed. I use a Nikon D70s, a D90, and an old Olympus E-10. Photography is about capturing textures, colors, shapes, and patterns using light. I've been doing it with a 35mm SLR and DSLR cameras for ~30 years. Do something long enough and you're bound to get better at it.
