I wanted to test out all my gear for our Photography Trek and Adventure series, so I loaded up the Jeep Gladiator, the Turtleback Expedition trailer, all my gear, and my kid, and headed to a small campground for three days and two nights. Come along for the ride and see how I set up camp...
I recently headed out to Joshua Tree National Park to get some epic shots of the Milky Way. Joshua Tree is known for its dark skies (and hot temperatures), but I was willing to test the heat index to get the shots I've been dreaming of.
