Boondocking 101

*Somebody strike up the banjos....*

...we're going boondocking.

When RDB first presented the idea of "free camping" in far-off-the-beaten-path, no-one is around, leave civilization behind boondocking, I can't say I was thrilled about the prospect.  I kinda like having a few people around, ya know, just in case the crazies come out.

What I didn't realize is this: the only crazies this far out are the ones you bring with you!!

Looking towards the Rubicon....

....and looking the other way.

We'll be venturing into this new style of camping for some of the longer trips out - when we don't want a definitive paid-for campsite, and are looking to use the Rubicon to it's fullest capacity: with the bike still stored, no check in, no gate code, no defined parking spot, could be a national forest like the one above, or it might be a Wal-mart parking lot.  RDB has been finding our spots using a free campsite website.

It's tight quarters in the new camper with the bike in tow, but for a short stop over - boondocking - like this, we can make it work.  We're able to get in, get to the fridge and kitchen, use the bathroom, and crawl (over each other) into bed.

Hello, Harley. <3

I did say "always looking for the next great adventure" when I first started this blog.... looks like RDB is going to make sure we put that to the test!  More to come - click on "boondocking" in the word map over on the right to see the places we've stayed.  It's always good to have you along!
