62 Nebraskaland • October 2022
THE LAST STOP
I've seen a thousand campers
during my tenure at Nebraskaland
Magazine — but none that have
stuck out more than this beauty.
Perhaps it's my affinity for old
vehicles or the owner's spot-on
paint-matching jobs between the
truck and camper, but when I came
across the combo last October at
Mormon Island State Recreation
Area, I couldn't stop staring.
Visiting the region to shoot fall
color, I encountered more color than
I had bargained for.
I nearly knocked on the camper
to introduce myself to the owner,
but decided against it. I had come
from Omaha to this region for some
peace and quiet, and I imagined this
person had, too.
Instead, I did my rounds at the
park, photographing the reds
and yellows so reminiscent of a
Nebraska autumn. Then, for good
measure, I added a little aqua blue
for a truly unique fall picture.
