Ramblin' 2019 is over!

Just finished my 14th year of 5 to 6 months of Ramblin' in early Nov. Had another fun year, but only about 6K miles, way less than my usual 9K+. Got a late start and I'm tending to stay more than one night in a campground. Up to about 131K total ramblin' miles now.

Some camping stats:
- 110 nights camping (including 20 boondocking, but excluding in driveways, etc.)
- 67 campsites
- 31 nights @ $0/night
- $6.92 average campsite fee, with discount, and $11.84 without. Free campsites (boondocking, etc.) included in average cost

Below is a screenshot of my campsite map. You can view the "pan & zoom" map on my website here. Click on a pinhead and you'll see the name and description of the campsite. Plenty of pictures on my website (see signature). I'll post some of the best ones here later.

I'm hoping to leave for Ramblin' 2020 next May - the old body willing. Right now I'm enjoying my comfy easy chair and the looong hot showers every day. :)

  • Welcome home, Ralph. Love your annual ramblings and photo journey even as I shake my head at the work that must go into such a production.
    You are inspiring, my friend.
    Thanks again.
  • Simply awesome Ralph!
    Hey I found a couple camping spots a couple years ago from one of your maps.
    Really cool of you to doo that and what an adventure!
  • Clarryhill: Many thanks for your kind comments and following my ramblin'. I travel solo, so maintaining my website gives me something to do. When it becomes "work", I'll quit. :)

    Grit dog: It always makes me feel real good when someone says they used one of my maps to find a campsite! That's why I do it! :)
  • That #47, Bob Scott CG was nothing to rave about but sure came in handy for us as an intermediate stop in the nothingness of rural Nevada.

  • Thanks to all for the thumbs up!

    Yes, Bob Scott CG is pretty basic. However, very convenient to US50 (The Loneliest Road In America). Not many other choices. Been there 5 times now.
  • Thanks! I've also book marked your site. We're planning our road tip for next year and looks like you've been everywhere I want to go!
