After spending the past two days driving through Utah, Moose and I stopped in Dixie National Forest, a few miles outside of Bryce Canyon National Park. We were told of this boondocking spot by Aluminarium who used it earlier in the year. The site comes with full bars of Verizon...
Recently I got some neighbors at the Moose Lodge after having been alone in the parking lot for most of the summer. I introduced myself on day-1 and found out that the family had never camped before in the past… not a single night. They were doing this out of...
As is usual for me, I do not get far on any given day. After leaving my Lake Mead boondocking location, I drove only 48 miles to a pre-planned and common boondocking place that overlooks Overton, NV (map below). It is nothing special in terms of location, but it does...
I’ve been boondocking at the Government Wash area of Lake Mead. It is free to camp here for up to 14 days. Truth be told, you do have to buy a weekly pass for $10 to make it official, but considering what you get for that $10 it is money...
This past week I have been camped at Buckeye Hills Regional Park (map below). It is one of my “go to” places to boondock when I’m in western Arizona. I came here for my first time last year and enjoyed having the 4000+ acres all to myself. This time around,...
When I Google it, nothing comes up other than some maps (see below for map) … which is how I found it to begin with; GMap4 Topo as I was scanning my route of the next few days. Since it sits only 1 mile off the highway, down a semi-rough...
Many people visit Whitewater Draw each winter to experience the memorable sights and sounds of more than 20,000 sandhill cranes. These birds spend the night standing in Whitewater Draw’s shallow waters to evade predators, and then fly out each morning to feed and socialize in the surrounding area. They return...
These past days have been spent boondocking in the desert not far out of Tombstone. Much of my time has been spent socializing again as I have company with the Aluminarium duo and the MaliMish family, both in their luxurious airstream getup’s. I parked Big Blue a distance away to...
South West of Silver City on highway 90 is another segment of the Gila National Forest. The highway crosses the Continental Divide Trail, complete with a nice area to pull off and hike a bit or camp. While there are no established camping areas, it is easy enough to spot...
It is a risk of van-dwelling; pulling into your planned overnight stop only to see signs posted prohibiting overnight parking. That is what happened when I pulled into the Walmart just outside of Chelan, Washington. I’m not about to break the city ordinance, so I set out to find another...
