    Have you tried south of Moab on the 191, towards Blanding and Bluff. Lots of boondocking areas down in Combs Wash, with alot of atv trails. It's further south and lower in elevation, although Nov. is cooler anywhere. http://www.americansouthwest.net/utah/cedar-mesa-grand-gulch/comb-ridge.html


    you must have talked to gerry today..

    was talking to her about this just a bit ago and she said thought she might like to go a little further south towards 4 corners . will be sure and look up the combs wash area you mentioned. we have been though both and never thought about camping there. thanks.

  • Oregon coast is nice but chances are your going to get rained on and your going to find it difficult to "boon dock".
  • thanks roy&lynn

    that would certainly be thinking out of the box for us. not a spot we wold have considered.

    any locations, camping spots, you could recommend??
  • How about the Oregon coast. We had T-day there one year and it was great.It will certainly be different than what your use to.
