Ten Days and Counting - Oregon Bound

 TEN DAYS AND COUNTING!

 OREGON BOUND PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES

Can you feel the anticipation in the air? I sure can! It's been a hot minute since I've gone camping, but let me tell you, the thrill of hitting the great outdoors with my camera in hand is something I've been yearning for.



In just ten days, I'll be loading up my trusty Photo Mobile and setting off on an epic journey to explore the stunning Oregon Coast and the majestic Columbia Gorge, chasing waterfalls and capturing moments that will last a lifetime. It's not just a trip; it's a grand adventure, and I can hardly contain my excitement!

Now, let's address the elephant in the room: April showers. Yep, they're a thing, especially in the Pacific Northwest. But hey, I've got my raincoat ready, and I'm not one to shy away from a little liquid sunshine. With a positive attitude and a sturdy pair of boots, I'm ready to embrace whatever Mother Nature throws my way.

But before I hit the road, there are a couple of exciting updates I just have to share with you. I've got two game-changing pieces of equipment on the way, both of which will take my photography game to new heights. Want a sneak peek? You know where to find me—on my YouTube channel @photoartbylauraphotography.

Now, let's talk safety. As a solo camper, I've taken some precautions, including installing curtains in my rig to keep a low profile. Let me tell you, it was quite the DIY adventure—think cutting your own bangs gone wrong! But with a little creativity and teamwork, we made it work, and now I'm feeling stealthier than ever.



Speaking of teamwork, I've got to give a shoutout to my amazing husband, who's been instrumental in turning my overland dreams into reality. With his expertise in CAD and carpentry, he's transformed my vision into a beautifully functional setup that's ready for any adventure.

Now, let's talk about meals. Rain or shine, a girl's gotta eat, right? I've come up with some clever pre-planned meals that I can cook inside the car, just in case. And with my new heatable lunchbox, I'll be enjoying warm, hearty meals on the go—almost like having a mini crockpot in the car! Of course, I'll need to keep an eye on power usage to avoid any battery mishaps, but hey, that's all part of the adventure, right?  This Blog is not sponsored yet, maybe someday, but I just thought I would pass around the love to anyone else out there with a few links to some of the products I use or have tried. 

Camping in the Photo Mobile isn't just about convenience—it's also a smart financial move. Let's be real, hotel rooms can add up fast, especially when you're on the road for an extended period. By bunking in my cozy rig, I'm able to stretch my budget further and spend more time doing what I love—capturing breathtaking images of nature's wonders.

And hey, if you're enjoying following along with my adventures, why not consider supporting my dream? I've got a membership platform where you can access exclusive content and help keep me on the road, doing what I love. Every bit of support means the world to me, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

So, are you ready to join me on this wild ride? From this blog to my YouTube channel, I'll be sharing every moment of the journey with you. Sure, I may be a one-woman show for now, but who knows what the future holds? Until then, I'll keep honing my skills and soaking up every second of this incredible adventure.

Thanks for being part of the journey, and until next time—happy trails! 🌟
