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.

I had never heard of the Casa Diablo area -- it is east of Crowley Lake, off of Benton Crossing Road, and there appears to be a lot of room out there! The access road looks like it is about 4 miles east of the lakeshore, and it angles south off the Benton road. I am attempting to attach a fragment of a topo map -- not sure how it will look online -- and the access road is just to the east of the word "Benton" at the top of the picture:
Edit: yep, just as I had feared, the image is degraded -- I tried to save it as a high quality image but no luck. Anyway, you get the idea.
That's the northern section of Casa Diablo. I'm sure you could boondock out there, but I'm not sure how rough the road is (it might be very, very rough). The section I'm referring to is the southern section near Bishop. That part of Casa Diablo goes across the volcanic shelf just north of Bishop and is wide and firm.
