For the OP you may want to contact garyhaupt a Canadian member of the forum who has jumped the hurdles of volunteering legally in the US if I recall his posts from a few years back.
I'm not familiar with BLM use requirements but I assume they apply to non-residents as well so for very few dollars one can camp in the beautiful southwest for minimal cost. May try it myself next winter.
Me too!!! and thanks for the tip :)
I was just thinking along the lines of I'd rather have SOME services and perhaps some local knowledge to rely on versus BLM and boondocking on your own. Well, I thought it was a good idea but maybe not.. LOL
Honestly, the vision would be to do a little of both. I can see boondocking has it's value but so does visiting/helping 'friends' and or staying at a full blown RV resort for $50.00/night.. I guess I'm trying to combine our camping plans with a bed/breakfast idea. Only we are bringing our own bed/breakfast. I KNOW I cannot work in the U.S. without legal ramifications so that brought us to where we are now. I will help around the yard if i can park on the yard..
There sure are days when I miss the 'gentlemen's handshake' of yester-year. Appears if the lawyers haven't already ruined it, the fear of the lawyers has. LOL
Thanks to all replies so far, it is an interesting read.
