This weekend, I ventured into central Washington with one of my partners on our way to the Ellensburg Rodeo. We took our hybrid Maverick and Roam Vagabond XL roof top tent to enjoy the views along the way.
First stop was a forest service road off of Rt. 2. Alas, the perfect spot was obstructed by a boulder and downed tree. Note to self: bring the reciprocating saw to do minor clearing to the best spots.
After turning around, the Mrs agreed to a beautiful spot overlooking a burned out canyon from a previous forest fire.
As the sun set, the stars shone through the light smoke in the air for a breathtaking view of the Milky Way, Sagittarius, and even the Andromeda Galaxy.
Day two started with bacon, eggs, and cabbage, then off to Leavenworth for a wander.
Next stop, Douglas Creek Canyon. We looked at the northern route, but it was meh with a water hazard I didn't want to drive through. We decided to try the southern entrance. Alas, we couldn't get far having only front wheel drive and standard tires, but I scouted and found the best spot.
With scouting done, it was time to get set up.
The second night did not disappoint as the stars danced above once more.
We even saw a few shooting stars.
With night gone again, it was time to say goodbye to the canyon.
Nothing left but memories and my dusty butt!

Those are some amazing pictures, thanks for sharing. Now all you need to do is fill Maverick with some coloring.
