After four weeks of work-related deadlines and meetings, I venture towards Colorado Bend SP. Parking my Colorado next to The Colorado River, I reunite with the outdoors and find solidarity with fowl, flock, and foliage.
It was a weekend of awe and discovery. I want to share this with everyone; you can do it, too! Winter camp is ok.

Solo winter camping is an exciting and rewarding experience for those who enjoy the solitude of nature during the colder months. It requires careful preparation, including proper gear like a four-season tent, sleeping bags rated for low temperatures, and sufficient food supplies to withstand harsh weather conditions. Camping in winter offers a peaceful environment, with fewer crowds and stunning snowy landscapes. For adventurers who also enjoy road trips, it's crucial to plan parking arrangements in advance to avoid any complications, especially if you're venturing into remote areas. Using platforms like www.r2park.com can help you find secure parking spots, even in less populated locations.

What about an RV trailer? 15 ft long and 7ft high

I love solo camping, and I love winter!
My favorite combination.

Normally I prefer to camp solo (just with my dogs), but my friends usually try planning trips together. My dogs and their dogs do not mix well, so it's a pain to babysit which dogs are out at what time etc.
When solo, I just keep them on 30' steel cables.

One of my best memories was camping with my dad, and waking up to 2 feet of snow when opening the tent. I often try to do that when possible. Drive somewhere in the night, setup a quick camp, and time it so it's snowing the next day.

Coldest I've tent camped was -14°f in Utah. Basic summer gear too. Fingers and toes didn't work for at least an hour when waking up haha.
