RE: Glamis Advice
You can camp free on Ogilby road north of I 8 about 15 miles west of Yuma. Its about 4 miles north of the express way. Buttercup dunes are only about 7 miles from there. Glamas is about 25 miles north west. Its a ways but it is free..BLM land

RE: Boondocking in or near Silverton, CO
Head north out of Silverton on US 550 about 3 miles...turn at the sign that says South Mineral Camp ground...co road 7...Its a left turn if you are going north...go down about 2 or so miles and you will see a sign for over flow camping...camp there it was free several years ago...if there are not many campers there there may be spots on the creek. I started camping there in the very early 70's...every time we go there that is where we camp...about every 1 to 2 years. we were one of the first to ever camp in that area. broke trail in to the area for camping.
One thing, if you plan on doing any off roading, a lot of the passes on the trails dont open until july...
Enjoy the area

RE: Have you stayed in Yuma Foothills?
If you want to camp free around Yuma, you can go to Ogilby road in California. Ogilby is 15 or so miles west of Yuma. The blm free camping area is about 4 miles north. Stayed there 3 weeks last year. A few others in the area.

RE: White Rim Trail Drive Report
Its a cool trip and great report...we did the trip years ago before permits were required...(in the 70's)...stayed over night in tents with about 6 or 7 families on the trip...we took our buggies...it was a blast. We started playing in canyon country in the 60's...things have changed since then..

RE: boondocking close to LA or San Diego
"Where in LA do you want to be? North, South, or East? Makes a difference."

RE: trailers for all 4 off-the-ground toads
I don't have a clue who built my car hauler...It has 2 3500 lbs axles under it and it handles my Jeep or buggy that I haul, about 20 feet long, payed $800.00 bucks for it.....As for me...I would not think of towing a vehicle 4 down...(I like to know that the vehicle is in the same condition at the end of the tirp as when I started the trip)..for the most part I have always been a traler behind the motor home person...as for tying it down...single chain wrapped around each of the rear tires with chain binders with a special grid that I build into the trailer... (One chain for each tire tied to the trailers grid)...(never, read, never had a chain loosen up or a lost chain binder... over 250,000 miles towing like this and never a problem...takes about 5 minutes to load and unload...

RE: Our campsite at the sand dunes
Last winter we spent 3 weeks at Ocotillo wells camping and then 3 weeks on Oglby road. We like the area. Have a Jeep, for our winter vehicle and is not really set up for the sand. We like the area and plan on returning next year. We have a buggy for our summer play toy.

RE: You ever stay in a Walmart parking lot?
When running hard, we like to stay at wal-marts. They are every where, and you can pull in late, and except for the ones that don't allow over night stays, its easy to find a place to park for the night, most times.
We really don't like camp grounds.
Also, it lets my wife get out of the camper and streach her legs and call it shopping while I have my several beers for the night.
Just a note, we boon dock most of the time when traveling.
