Keep Your RV From Being Stolen While You Are Away
Many RVers are concerned about their RV being stolen from the boondocks while they are out exploring away from camp for the day. As I have shared in past posts, you are highly unlikely to be a victim of crime in the boondocks as criminals are opportunists applying their trade where there is ample opportunity. […]
How We Made A Private Dog Run While Boondocking
As you know, my preferred campsite is in the boondocks on public property. My wife and I enjoy the solitude, scenery, and convenience. The price is right, too.

Much engineering was required to construct a rail grade gentle and straight enough to accommodate the locomotives along with the freight and passenger cars they carried. The railroad over Washington State’s Steven Pass was no exception, requiring extensive tunnels, fills and soaring […]
Hidden Gems Off Highway 2 In Washington

We Found A Free Hidden Campground In Washington
Those that regularly follow my adventures on this blog know that I am all about free places to camp and lesser known places to explore.
