Taos, New Mexico. 2022
A vast high-desert landscape at dusk, covered in low sagebrush and open plains stretching toward the horizon. The sky is filled with soft streaks of gray and pink clouds, fading into pale blue and orange hues as the sun sets. In the distance, a pair of small mountains silhouette against the fading light, while on the right edge of the image, a quiet road and two tall streetlights frame the scene. The overall atmosphere is calm and expansive, capturing the quiet beauty of a desert sunset.

Mendocino, California. 2025.
A dramatic coastal scene on an overcast day, showing rugged dark rock formations and a brown, windswept cliff overlooking a churning, foamy sea. The horizon fades into mist under a heavy gray sky, with distant headlands barely visible through the haze. The atmosphere feels wild and remote, with muted tones of gray, blue, and brown emphasizing the power and solitude of the ocean.

Maybe get creative with the prequel material? One of the few I actually finished. The fun you could have on an Apple IIe in 1987:

Jackson Lake. Grand Teton NP, Wyoming. 2017
A placid, deep green lake with jagged, snow covered mountains in the distance. A blue sky with some wispy white clouds.

It was one of the best unplanned finds. Scenery all around. A Ryker could get in with no problem.

Here’s a really great BLM dispersed campsite near Newspaper Rock. Not sure how it got the name but it’s fitting.
