Hello, from the mountains of southern Utah. One of the advantages of being able to work from home is being able to work on the road. That’s a great thing if you own a truck camper. As long as I have cell coverage I can work where ever I want. With summer temperatures in Arizona in excess of 115 degrees, we decided the time was right to get away for a couple of months to see the sights and visit some family and friends. We are planning on exploring Utah, Montana, Washington State, Oregon, and California. So far, we’ve visited Bryce Canyon National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, Cedar Breaks National Monument, Kodachrome Basin State Park, and have hit several prime locations along scenic Utah Routes 14 and 12. More stops, of course, are planned this summer. If you have any destinations and trails that you can recommend, please let us know at tcadventuremag@gmail.com. And if you haven’t done so already, I encourage you to follow Truck Camper Adventure on Twitter and Instagram to stay up on our travels. In the meantime, enjoy a few photographs of our recent adventures here in the American West.
