I'll agree with Larry. Derrick Cave is fantastic. Bring a coat though.... It's very cold down there. And dark once you get back in the cave. Very neat though.

@GHCOE may have some ideas for points of interest in ALOT of these areas.

Took the trailer out with @GHCOE over the weekend for a PROPER shakedown run. Definitely found some things that need fixing and adjusting.

I don't wanna hijack the thread, so why don't you post that question over in my build thread, unless you're wanting to know where OP sourced his doors. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/reavers-squaredrop-camper-build.48105/

My photos from the St Anthony's Trip:

Heading out on Thursday for a 4 day trip. I'll finally be able to test the water tank sensor. Im still not sure how I'm going to solve the freezing water lines, but it's getting warm enough where I won't really need to worry about it for a while. I've been getting some smaller tasks done on the...

Hopefully we won't get rain, or very minimal. Although, I guess I'd rather have rain than lots of wind. The 270 will keep me out of the rain...

Yeah, due to circumstances last year, I couldn't really make any of the trips. I've already ordered a new leaf spring center bolt to replace the one that took a hike. That's why my axle shifted. I was able to get it to an o'reily parking lot, and @David H and I managed to get it mostly back to...

I'm gonna try and make this one. I'll be bringing the trailer, but I might bring the truck this time. I'm not likely to have the xterra fixed in time.

I'd love to make one of your guys trips, but you gotta come farther south! Which section of the BDR are you running? Also, I maybe could make the lost river trip.

I carry a flat pack wood fire pit. This is my preferred method, but of course, sometimes, there are burn bans. In those instances, we use an ammo can propane firepit that I made.

Welcome, fellow Nissan fan! I also own a D40 Frontier (2013), and an Xterra (2003). My wife also has a 2002.

I have a light weight tarp with poles, an arb 6.5 foot straight awning and room attachment, and a 270 awning. I've not used the 270 yet, but it'll be amazing when I camp in the rain with the trailer. My arb with the awning room is awesome. We've used it many times to protect from wind, bugs...

Built a rack for my fridge box on the trailer, and mounted a dewalt box I had laying around up there for some weatherproof storage. I also installed a port on the side of the trailer so that I can use the diesel heater without putting the ducting to the window.

100% truth right here. Although, in my case, I have r7 insulation (average) in my trailer, 280Ah, 400w solar charging, and 20A (soon to be 30A) dc-dc charging. My main fuel tank is a 1 gallon rotopax style, and I have an additional 2 gallons to refill that. But my setup isn't what most people use.
