I have had to camp in the Zzzoomer fro the past 3 nights. The first night I stayed in the parking lot of a Family Dollar behind the card board collection trailer.The second night was aesthetically much more pleasing in the White Sands desert. Last night was the most difficult of the Whole trip - I was caught by a wind (50 - 70 mph) and snow storm.
