And the view out of our front windshield
I sit outside on my patio almost everyday (having coffee or beer) with that view for the last 13 years. Still does not get old.
Fair enough...
This was our boondocking site last week at Las Cienegas National Conservation Area (SE Arizona). Pretty amazing place. Didn't see a single soul the entire time we were there
The grassland views are stunning
And this is our site today just south of Cottonwood, AZ:

Well, I can't tell you exactly where we last boondocked, but it was last summer in the Eastern Sierra between Lee Vining and Bridgeport. Here is our campsite, off a long, rough dirt road at 9000 feet -- we set up the tarp to protect our generator from the rain -- there were occasional thunderstorms -- and that is why the awning is tilted (to shed the rain):
This is a view of the campsite from a nearby meadow -- the trailer is hidden in the trees, and DW is sitting in our afternoon "cocktail area" in the meadow:
This is the view from the campsite -- that's Mono Lake out in the distance -- at night, lightning would flicker over the mountains and valleys to the east:
We were there for a week, and almost every evening a "lenticular cloud" would form over the Tioga Pass area to the south, catching the sunset:
I should add that this nameless place is a classic boondocking site -- absolutely silent. We saw no one for a week. So quiet that the noise of the blood pounding in our ears was very audible. So quiet that when pine needles would fall on the roof of the trailer, the tiny impact of each one was distinct and clear.

I boondock pretty much anywhere and everywhere. I've been on the road for a month and another three weeks or so yet, to enjoy. On may to Edmonton this coming weekend...and I read snow in the forecast!
This is Steelhead Prov Park, Savona, BC..open and no fees yet.
I was in Manning Park and just past the east gate a spot that is one of my fave's. Usually you could put a D/P in here, but this time the frost had just come out of the ground and I was in four wheel to get thru it.
There is a great pull-off on #97, the Monte Creek area.
This involved a wee bit of stealth work for the night. In Peachland, the Okanagan.
Nicola Lake pull off, just east/north of Merritt, BC.
Along the Old Hedly Road from Princeton, BC.
And my spot right now...Thursday morning in Vernon...
