These photos were taken at the Sand Flats Recreation Area outside of Moab. The area offers camping among slickrock domes, bowls and fins - much like the Devils Garden campground in nearby Arches National Park, but without the crowds, the required reservations, the high fees, and all the regulations that come with staying inside the national park.

BEAUTIFUL.

The last time I was in Moab I got horribly sunburned. (Young and stupid!)

Then I had to drive 2000 miles home, pulling a trailer w/ half dollar sized blisters all over my back.

Here are some pictures from a recent backroads, forest service trails trip around Mt Hood in Oregon. For boondocking way off the beaten path, we leave the trailer at home.

Here is our camp site, across from a place called The Devil's Half Acre It was off the Barlow Rd trail, the first road through the Cascades,dating back to the mid 1800's

This is beautiful country with great view of Mt Hood.

Here was an ideal camping spot we found off the beaten track where the Namib desert meets the Naukluft national park in western Namibia.

For Rubenz here are the GPS coordinates:

Yep, the Michigan UP has mountains, and they are right along the Lake Superior shoreline. The rustic camping area is about a 16 mile drive in from the main highway, and the nearest cell phone signal is ten miles back out from the campground. I had a nice spot located in this rustic State campground along the cliffs of Lake Superior, providing for some nice sunsets. There is water available to fill jugs, but otherwise you are on your own. A backpackers paradise, and it wasn't unusual for a black bear to wonder through the area either.

Here are our three best boondocking sites of 2010. Someone in a recent post asked for GPS coordinates. Sorry -- I have been sworn to secrecy. Whip out your topo and your forest service maps and spend some time exploring. You will find some amazing places. (Preferably far enough away from me that we won't see or hear each other!) Anyway, here are the photos:

Southeast of Goosenecks State Park in Utah, nothing but the sound of the wind in the sagebrush:

South of Kings Canyon in Sequoia National Forest, so darn silent that the sound of the blood pounding in our ears was a little annoying:

[image]

North of Crater Lake, Oregon -- the white dot in the lower left is the trailer, and the rim of the crater is in the upper right -- we were in the national forest, just north of the national park, with nothing but the sound of the wind in the pines:

Been to the Goosenecks area with plans to boondock at Goosenecks itself. Will have to explore around Crater Lake instead of just thinking of the NP CG. We love to boondock - isn't that what RV'ing is all about? Being unplugged and self reliant,
