U.S. National Forests

A black Jeep with a roof rack tows a teardrop-shaped camper on a grassy clearing along Franklin Basin Road. Surrounded by leafless trees, in the backdrop of Cache National Forest, tall evergreens and snow-capped mountains rise under the clear blue sky, their shadows stretching across the ground.
Needing someplace for one night between the Sand Wash BLM land and the City of Rocks, I elected to spend a night in the forest, happy that the forest roads were finally melting.
A man wearing a blue cap and glasses stands in front of a parked RV nestled in the scenic Modoc National Forest. With tall trees and clear skies overhead, the dirt path along Tickner Road is framed by scattered greenery, while part of a bicycle leans against the RV.
I was very excited to get out of Nevada and roll into California. It had been too long since I'd seen pine trees and felt the forest, so I headed down a forest road and found a campsite.
