Boondocking Hwy. 168 - Bishop, CA
Since the forest service (BLM, etc.) *campgrounds* are closed, does anyone have suggestions for boondocking locations along Hwy. 168 out of Bishop, CA? TIA.

Benton Crossing Rd ("Green Church Road") is virtually all available for boondocking (NFS) from 100 yards in from the Highway until you get down to the river, where it returns to LA DWP control. Don't mess with DWP--just recall what they did to Jack Nicholson's nose!!!
Is Casa Diablo the road that leads into the "Canyons", aka rock climber's paradise?
No, it's *not* the Rock Climbers paradise. The area you're thinking of Buttermilk Country (Buttermilk Road) which is just west of Bishop. That's a potential boondocking spot, but I've heard it's mostly for smaller rigs.
The area I'm talking about is just north of Bishop. Casa Diablo road runs north from Bishop all the way to Crowley Lake (Benton Crossing Road), but it's much rougher on the northern end. The better section of the road (easier access) and where there's better boondocking is on the southern end from the Bishop side. Some friends of mine are there right now and I had other friends who stayed there last week in a 35-footer.
