memtb, we certainly do not have it all figured out -- figuring things out while we are on the road is half the fun!! Where to go? That's easy -- we just look at other folks' trip reports and piggyback off their info. When? That's also fairly easy -- we avoid the summer (too crowded) and focus on the shoulder seasons, especially the fall. How to share? That's fun but a lot of work -- I put it all into the blog (mostly to preserve our own memories), and then send the links around to anyone who might be interested.

And less fortunate? It is hard for me to think of folks who live in Wyoming 😉 as less fortunate than those of us stuck for most of the year in crowded urban misery. It takes us three hours of hard driving to get to a place where we can see the Milky Way, and eight hours to get to good boondocking.

But I have to admit we do feel very fortunate -- since I retired, we now have the time to travel slower and more spontaneously (no reservations!). And our health is still good enough that we can take strenuous hikes, at least for now.

And we live in a country where boondocking is still legal (amazing, when you think about it). Yes, there are more and more restrictions, but what a privilege!


but what a privilege!

Amend to That.

Tiger, even mediocre camping is better than staying home, right?? Hope all is well with you.
