Hey Jim, if you had a picture of you beside the camper in a space suit, it wouldnt look out of place![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin")
That is one cool picture! I'm sure the trees and wind are giving you all sorts of trouble
We camped like that and made the mistake of leaving the windon opened a crack, and the dashboard was covered in sand in the morning![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/eek.gif "eek")

Thanks for the nice comments. Sand IS part of living in the desert now and then. It is part of the package and expected.
I will look into a new suit to wear and take a picture ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/tongue.gif "tongue")

My concern camping on the desert would be of getting lost. When I boondock in a National Forest I have roads and compass...and just bought a TomTom.
No roads on a desert, probably not cell service, do you have to stick close to a main road? Thanks, Andrea

Hey Andrea, when you think of desert, dont hink of just blowing sand. There is quite a bit of scrub brush covereing the ground, and most of the roads (if you want to call them that) are two track but pretty solid.
It's hard to get lost, and even our Streetpilot still tells us which way to go to get back to a main road if we type something in. We have tried it a few times just to see what it would do.

No worries, and once you camp out there a few times, it'll be hard to go back to camping in a regualr campground ever again.

Funny you should ask...I went to the rangers station in the Wayne NF in southeastern Ohio today (It's very close to my home. I asked about Dispersed camping and their advice was to just explore and see what you can find. They told me about some horse trails that had some developed areas at the beginning of the trails (trailheads?) I drove out to them and found a WONDERFUL spot to camp. It had a pit toilet that looked brand new(IE clean) a nice sized meadow, some stands of pine trees with spaces in between to fit my pup, picnic tables, and fire rings. I am so happy that I can do some boondocking as soon as the weather warms up.
Treehugger: If you want to know more, and you are near the southeastern Ohio area, private message me and I will give you further details how to find it.

Here's the view from the campsite, it makes wearing a bit of mud, worth while:

Here is a picture from our boondocking spot in the Anza Borrego Desert, looking at the Salton Sea. This was my first attempt of a multiple exposure using 2 different lenses.
