Well, this is it for me. It wasn't planned, but I ended up having the same amount of bags nights that I had last year. We spent the weekend in Goblin Valley at a yurt since we've never stayed in a yurt before. It was fun exploring the park with the snow this weekend.

Stick a fork in me. Had to come back a night early from our New Years trip due to impending snowpocalypse, but still an awesome trip. Met up with @Artemus for a pre-NYE celebration that was just as good as the real thing. Not quite the 70 nights that I hit last year, but I'm more than happy with it. I ended up camping further north, east, south and west, then ever before in 2019.

Some shots of our camp in Mojave National Preserve. Art was in this spot up until the day we showed up there.

On top of the Kelso Dunes. Sage just saw a human approaching.

Tonto National Forest for 4 nights and we did absolutely nothing for days, pretty unusual for us. Fabulous 360 views and we watched the moon rise & set, same with the sun. The moon and the stars were reflected in the lake (waiting for Rick’s photos still).
