I'm not Matho, but... According to that photos properties menu, I would guess Cloudcroft, NM. sometime in August. [emoticon]

Very nice photos everyone! I followed the entire thread. I'm heading out next week and boondock in the California foothills, there is still too much snow higher up.

Fellow Travelers ~

Here's some Boondocking pix from Lake Powell and surrounds. NW of Page AZ and Glen Canyon Dam, I went north from Big Water UT out to Ahlstrom's Point to SUV Camp. Didn't have our lil 15' TT yet. Due to crossing many dry/wet Washes, it's good only for SUVs; Military-style Camping Trailers; or Truck Campers. However, the first section of the drive on County Road out of Big Water up the Escalante Staircase on BLM Land is very reasonable. Endless Hiking and pic opportunities. A BLM Station at the Highway turnoff right there can provide much info.

Paid Fed Park Big Rig Beach Boondocking is available JUST N.W. of Page at Lone Rock Beach. Water; cold Showers; and Pit Toilets.

I also set up at Lee's Ferry AZ on the CO River; a Campground fit for any Rig. Park and Camping Fees apply there. More free Camping is around; I studied on line Maps to note free vs. paid Camping. I also wanted to study up first and play by the rules when Concealed Carrying. Reservation Land - and very different Laws - is all around.

Continuing on that Road West leads to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Once the Snow's off, you can Boondock there n/c in nicely-treed surrounds.

I recon'ed the whole trip from W. CO via Google Earth and 'flew over' areas of interest. By clicking on 'Panoramio' on the left side of the Google Earth Webpage, you can see endless pix uploaded by Visitors and thus scout an area in detail at ground level.

Monument Valley, to the N.E., is where many a John Wayne Film was set.

Amazing area. Highly recommended.

Some boondocking pics from a boondocking experience with our cargo trailer conversion in the Hagerman Valley of Idaho, 100 yards from the mighty Snake River. The third photo shows our view of the mighty Snake River at late sundown. Twas a beautiful setting and a beautiful sight to behold. There was one, and only, one camp site and we got it for 3 days. It was a great experience.

We have a Jayco TT that we use for hookup camping trips and we built a cargo trailer (CT) conversion specifically for boondocking. It excels at that and at getting us into smaller spaces often found in remote areas.

So . . . where is this spot in the Hagerman Valley? We've driven through there but didn't know there were boondocking spots. Ended up staying at Sligers and would've rather been with you! PM me is you don't want to advertise! Thanks!
