I headed out on a solo overland adventure and ran a rooftop tent setup deep in the forest—up on an elevated hill I found on Google Earth. This was basically a bonus day on a longer trip, but once I saw this pin on the map, I couldn’t stop myself from coming to check it out. I got the truck and tent set up, had the diesel heater ready for later, and then I walked you guys out to the real reason I had to camp here: an exposed rock view looking down over two lakes with the sun setting right in front of us. With the day getting away from me (it was already pushing 5 p.m.), I got to work fast—cutting and splitting hardwood for the fire. Up in a breezy, exposed spot like this, I only want hardwood because softwood spits embers. The sunset turned out exactly how I pictured it—peach and pink over glass-still water—and the night sky was absolutely loaded with stars. It dropped to about -1°C with frost everywhere by morning, and even though my time-lapse frosted over, the whole camp was a gem. I’m keeping this one under wraps, leaving some split wood as a little test, and I’ll check back later to see if anyone’s been up there.
