And it will. I can’t count how many times people have cut us off because they don’t want to be behind the trailer, even when they are about to get off the highway. So, we upgraded to a Ram 2500, that has tons of spare load rating for our trailer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a22363158d4f08bcde0140/a2844993-dc39-44cb-aeb9-a1744f4d1f29/image_50752257+copy.JPG Blog - Home Again - Make it stand out It did snow on us again while we were at the coast.

The terrain is covered with lots of eroded sandstone of many colors, giving the land the appearance of being some place in Utah. We had planned to do some boondocking in this area but realized we needed to stick closer to electricity. It was definitely worth driving down for the day to see all the cool formations. While wandering down a back road, I caught a glimpse of a balanced rock down a dirt trail. We turned back and went down the trail to discover this area of bright white formations. Later, on a map, I saw the area is called Cerrito Blanco. It’s on National Forest land but is not managed in any way. It seems this beautiful spot has become something of a dumping ground for some locals. Even with that, it still is a wonderful place. This was quite the unexpected treat we found. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a22363158d4f08bcde0140/a60372fa-51e9-4fc8-b347-37b21fcaf4bb/image_50349313.JPG Blog - Heron Lake - Make it stand out Sunset over Heron Lake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a22363158d4f08bcde0140/022e8a68-c9bb-472c-aceb-03e5ed76de62/image_67527425.JPG Blog - Heron Lake - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a22363158d4f08bcde0140/94ceb0d0-1160-4001-9593-6b9943178d63/image_50753537.JPG Blog - Heron Lake - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a22363158d4f08bcde0140/560ddad1-3e01-4977-8357-6af481793527/image_50450433.JPG Blog - Heron Lake - Make it stand out Shawna and the pups. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a22363158d4f08bcde0140/121e9265-3870-4f1d-8998-635c21569dac/image_67208705.JPG Blog - Heron Lake - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a22363158d4f08bcde0140/af16beee-0616-49aa-b279-788dd720535a/image_50437633.JPG Blog - Heron Lake - Make it stand out Exploring the dirt trails at the far end of the lake from camp.
