This is a photo of our most recent boondocking experience -- after a few days in Yosemite, we enjoyed two very quiet nights not far from where the Hetch Hetchy road intersects Highway 120. Much of the area nearby had been badly burned in 2013, but there were a few areas that were hardly touched. This site was not as spectacular as some we've seen in the Eastern Sierra, but it still was nice to be by ourselves for a little while:

I assembled all of the photos of our boondocking sites that I could find and put them into one blog post:

Many of these shots have already been posted on this thread, so I am not re-posting them. As time goes on, I hope to add more pix to that blog post -- the sooner, the better!

Speaking of sooner, it looks as though the 2015 camping season is going to start very early on the West Coast -- we got almost no snow, and it is melting fast. I know that sounds good to folks suffering through the bad winter east of the Mississippi, but I would rather delay the start of the camping season, in exchange for some moisture. Fire season out West is going to be terrible, starting in May, rather than in September.

Basically totally boondocking in VT your not to far away I just worry about someone on drugs etc just coming into the forest and causing trouble knowing there's no cell service etc. Not sure about varying a gun or not. Yup about being older 60's would define it??

The first time we boondocked, I was nervous being all alone, but DH was not. It took me only one trip to get hooked. Anything else is noisy.

VT Skier, what are you nervous about? And define "older" -- I am 62, and we boondock all the time. Yes, there are things that we have to do to compensate for age -- I can't lift really heavy things without very carefully positioning myself, for example. But as they say, age and judgment is often better than youth and ignorance!

Up lander a fellow VT'er here we would love to boondocks at places like Greensale in So VT but are a it nervous about being out there all alone we are a bit older .
