Great photos everyone. But how do you go about finding a legal remote location to camp on?
Funny you should ask...I went to the rangers station in the Wayne NF in southeastern Ohio today (It's very close to my home. I asked about Dispersed camping and their advice was to just explore and see what you can find. They told me about some horse trails that had some developed areas at the beginning of the trails (trailheads?) I drove out to them and found a WONDERFUL spot to camp. It had a pit toilet that looked brand new(IE clean) a nice sized meadow, some stands of pine trees with spaces in between to fit my pup, picnic tables, and fire rings. I am so happy that I can do some boondocking as soon as the weather warms up.
Treehugger: If you want to know more, and you are near the southeastern Ohio area, private message me and I will give you further details how to find it.
I went back to the spot I found and took some photo's and I thought id share with you guys.
