Nice! We miss you guys!!!
Happy Trails!!! :100:

WOW-looks great just pulled into AJO for a few days then over to Yuma to visit then not sure LOL,

Last night we had a couple of thunderstorms roll through our BLM camp dropping about an inch of rain. Camped on high ground so not much danger but we did get a pond! Pretty cool photos with the big puffy clouds today. :)

We got another good soak last night. Did I misread a sign? I'm sure it said the Mojave Desert?! haha

Looks like you found an oasis

Looks like a great spot. We’ll have to keep it in mind.
Safe travels!

Did the Navy provide an air show for you? Pilots from nearby China Lake Naval Weapons Center love to entertain at high speed and low altitude. :)

Yup, have had a few shows. :)

Ok, newbie question!! How much extra water do you bring when you boondock? Obviously it depends on how long you stay, but what about bathing, cooking, cleaning dishes....etc... We are taking our first really short trip tomorrow to get to know the rig. But plan on a certain amount of boonie camping in the future.

We carry plastic 5 gallon can & 4 1-gallon jugs, in addition to 54 g internal tank

We have a 60-gallon fresh tank. I also carry 2- 7-gallon jugs I fill at the drinking water machines + a 2-gallon one that sits on the kitchen counter.
Last year Anne bought me a large 30 gallon bladder that I can also fill and add to the fresh tank is I want

@Ray I'm not sure I should share how much water we can pack in. It might make someone envious....... :wink:
Happy Trails...Pal!!!

Boondocking at Dove Springs OHV Area in California

In this video, I give you a look at the Dove Springs OHV area located in southern California. It's on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas, a little north of Mohave, CA.

Camping is free, and the area boasts some picturesque camping spots, but be warned it can fill up on weekends and holidays with mass ATV enthusiasts. So on those occasions, it's not the most peaceful of locals. ;)

I was treated by a friend to free use of his Polaris RZR ATV for a day and we explored some historical sites in the backcountry. The video finishes up with some dashcam footage and still photos.

Deleted travel insurance question...

About time to head North isn't it?

Yup, we have just landed on the Oregon coast. Nice to see the ocean again. :)

Sorry you have to head back so soon. It was a nice visit, and we will be looking to the horizon for more to come.
Happy Trails...Pal!!!

Glad to see you all will be home soon, stay safe. Rv

A couple long drive days but sure feels good to be back on the Oregon coast again with its miles of empty beaches to wander on and fresh ocean air.

I heard that they are going to close all of the Oregon state Parks April 3rd to May 8th because of the Virus.
Safe travels

Yup saw that today, been following the update page every day.
Really sucks, but I guess all the volunteers likely bailed as things have gotten worse.

I was hoping to use camping as a way to get out of the cities. I guess I'm going to have to rethink my logic.
