Camping on BLM land at Sacred White Shell Mountain, which is about 10 miles south of the Great Sand Dunes National Park, Mosca, Colorado

I rode my motorcycle from my camping spot up Lake Como Road ("Colorado's roughest road") for just over a mile after it turned to rocks. My arms were taking a beating from the front wheel getting jerked side-to-side when hitting rocks, so I turned around as the road wasn't going to get better.

Mystery Ranch packs that belong to Steve Yocum and his girlfriend, Jordan, who I met at the BLM dispersed camping area at Sacred White Shell Mountain, Mosca, Colorado. I'm looking for a good daypack, so it was nice to see some options.

I met Steve Yocum and his girlfriend, Jordan, at the BLM dispersed camping area at Sacred White Shell Mountain, Mosca, Colorado. They are taking photos, writing stories and producing videos for Backpacker (and others), and he is sponsored by quite a few brands, which are shown on the side of their converted school bus.

Trailer Hitch Motorcycle Carrier

I installed a trailer hitch on the step van to carry my Yamaha TW 200 motorcycle. When I bought the Moto Jack Rack, they added 3-in to the hitch bar (no charge!) so it would clear the lift gate. It is a tight fit and a 3.5-in extension would have been better. Loaded and ready to go at Sacred White Shell Mountain near the Great Sand Dunes National Park, Mosca, Colorado
