Colorado, USA
By Ann Driggers (@anndriggers)
Leaving after work on a Friday evening under a few sprinkles of rain and clearing skies in the forecast, we found our home for the night in a beautiful meadow of lupine. More accurately, we gate crashed another’s home: a bear showed up around 4 a.m., woofed at our tents, and then went on his way. At sunrise, two hours later, I looked out across the meadow and he was on the other side eating shoots and leaves of bear weed (aka skunk cabbage). We quietly watched him for about 45 minutes. When I started up my stove, he stood on his hind legs, cast his eyes upon us, and lumbered off into the aspens.
Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah), QLD, Australia
By Mattie Gould (@mattiejgould)
Catching the ferry from Brisbane, eight new friends spent the weekend cycling around Stradbroke Island for the winter solstice. It was a weekend of whale spotting, dolphins, laughing, painting, camping, and pushing our bikes through deep sand as we raced to escape the rising tides. Such a great overnighter together.
Kanjanaburi, Thailand
By B Kamolsakpitak (@buffalo.bags)
Recently, I’ve been searching for overnight trips for weekend escapes. The mountains around Kanjanaburi are quite interesting. They have a beautiful variety of terrain and a lot of rivers that pass through the mountains. It’s not illegal to wild camp, but locals told me it’s dangerous at night because wild animals will come out and disturb you. So, my best advice is to camp in the ranger camp or national park.
