We love to boondock to enjoy nature. We also enjoy many of the desert areas for doing this - where it is safe and hassle-free to do so. The DW for several years now will not permit us to camp anywhere near the once beautiful and remote Southwestern U.S. border public land areas or to even consider camping south of the border like we did many years ago.
A very sad situation after finally being able to retire and finally having just enough money and time to do it. The marginal jerks - or worse - in this world always manage to ruin something, somewhere, for the rest of us who once we're able to enjoy it ... can't.
