Great Pictures! Washington Cascades are spectacular. Great dirt bike riding just north of this area in the Naches Drainage -not nearly as high speed, but more technical, as East Fort Rock or any of the stuff near Bend! When you mend take a ride in the Naches Ranger District.

I have never seen a truck camper like yours... could you tell us a bit about it... what you like... do you have to put the slide out to go to the bathroom, etc. Was it hard to keep warm over night at the low temperatures. I can see that it is a beautifal rig...
I like your trip report I don't care for blogs, (and don't try to follow them, they are like a diary... they have to be feed everyday) No one can tell when you add something new
... a trip report goes back to the top of the page every time you or a follower adds a picture or comment... and when you have a trip report like this people can respond, even quote your words and pictures. I like it when others participate.
Good luck on your rehab... a happy person heals faster... and what could make you happier than rehabing in a truck camper.

The camper is an 2013 Host Cascade 10.5' double slide. You do have to open atleast the passenger slide to get inside/access the bathroom. What I like about it most is there is plenty of room with the dogs and us inside of it. The rear sofa that folds down makes an awesome dog bed.
Keeping the camper warm was no issue in the temperatures. I can say that it was much more comfortable than my 2006 22' travel trailer I lived in for two years. I used to have run an electric oil heater in that thing to stay warm at night.
Probably the biggest thing I would complain about is the door setup, I'm an average sized guy and I think the door way is a tad on the narrow side. Other than the things I did not order that I wish I had were satellite dish and solar panels. I have a honda 2000 that charges the battery just fine, but I think I could almost do without it if I had solar.

The winegard combo Sat antenna (with local stations) is less than $500 and you cvould easily install it your self when you heal up.
I have AMSolars.com panels... they are close to you... you might talk with them. We really like ours, best addition that we made to our camper... the company was fantastic to deal with.
Beautiful country and looks like glorious weather. Here in the warm and VERY dry southwest we could use some of that water. My dog would love to swim in one of those cool, clear lakes. I appreciate the time you took to post your trip. Thanks for sharing!
Nice! We were in Yakima back in the winter, and did White Pass then. Amazingly beautiful and friendly area - a must for anyone in Washington! The Walmart out on Nob Hill Blvd is a great overnighter before hitting the wild!
Try river rafting on the Tieton River in September when they do the Dam release for the Winter. Camp along the river and have a good time. It starts near Rimrock Lake. Some nice camping all through that area.
