Where did you last boondock?
There was a thread running, but perhaps with the camping season in full swing, those that often post are off doing instead of talking. Just to see if there is any interest....? Gary Haupt

Lotsofstuff, when I saw that you had been to Bear Camp Road, it triggered a distant bell in my head -- haven't people gotten fatally stuck out there? I did a little checking and sure enough, there have been deaths on that road -- folks lost, stuck in the snow, out of gas. Pretty remote, I guess!
Yes Bear Camp Road has a sad history.
Problem is in the past there were no signs warning the road is not plowed in the winter. There was a gate but it was open so local folks could access the lower part.
We got stuck on the road in February 2006. A couple from Texas got stuck right behind us.
They spent the night with us in our camper. Next day we were towed out. Thank goodness my cell phone was able to reach 911. The people from Texas were not able to get anyone on their cell phone!
Next day the wife and I stopped by the Josephine County Sheriff's office to complain about the lack of signs. They did nothing.
In November/ December of 2006 Mr Kim lost his life when he and his family were stuck just off the road.
Now they finally have warning signs on both ends of the road.
Bear Camp Road is a very beautiful drive in the summer.
