Today, I drove about 190 miles, minus some detours. As I said before, the goal was to dry-camp on public land (also called boondocking). The first road I tried quickly turned into a steep, rocky ATV trail. My first forced back-out of a scary road. Back down the hill was a sunny, still parking area, in sight of a park utilities station. Not what I was picturing.
Back on the road.
The next turn off I chose was a confirmed car-road (with the trail map I scored at the parking area). Even it was dirt, narrow, and rocky, but at least not steep. First several miles, there were tight turn-offs. Fine for a small car and tent camper. No point stopping and possible blocking the road, if I still couldnt turn around in the morning.
Finally, a clearing. The sun was behind a hill then. Outside went from the high 80s to cooler than my AC. Nice.
