Plus, I like being away from people, the self-sufficiency and the physical labor involved in providing for myself. (dumping, water, garbage..etc). There's always something in the way of housekeeping to do. I like poking around the solar store, visiting the bakery and of course, seeing who shows up at Mcdonalds. I rarely attend the big tent or purchase much of anything at the junk stands.
Purely curious, but do so many folks spend the majority of the winters boon docking at Imperial Dam/Quartzite BLM etc purely from a financial aspect or is there genuinely other reasons and if so what are they? .. but to stay in one location doing that day in day out for maybe a couple months or more is it for the joy of or as suggested budgeting purposes primarily?
I get good value at the Q - and many other boondocking places in the SW. I didn't put thousands of dollars worth of solar and batteries and inverter in my rig to be in an RV park or the forest.
I do see quite a few there for what I would consider "financial reasons". I can stand it for a couple weeks, but for months?. not for me.
