As an addendum, Jeanie and I are doing the Mendocino Coast in CA in a couple weeks and I've been researching areas to explore and camp. Not many boon docking possibilities. I'm finding County Campgrounds offer the best of what we need which is few services and a rustic setting with a dirt or gravel road leading to the camp. What does this insure? No 45 foot MoHos with a full size toad dare tread these waters. I'm leaning toward Wright's Beach, and Bodega Dunes, plus doing the legendary Usal Road up toward Shelter Cove, Petrolia and several little know, out of the way camps. There is a reason they call it, "The Lost Coast". We're making no reservations, so if we have to just pull over somewhere and disappear, we are experts at doing just that.
