Ya' know, Tuna, the very nature of boondockers is anti social behavior. Who said, "I Vant to be alone."? Here is a pic of our first boondock. Playa San Quentin, Baja, June, 1965. 1949 Willys Ute Wagon with Chevy 265 V8, 5.38 gears, 33% overdrive, We slept in the back. Days worth of rutted dirt roads and choking silt. This, BTW is the very first SUV. The prototype. The original. I'm glad it's gone.
Here is boon docking in 2010 on a Northern Nevada Pass. We were stopped from further progress by 4 foot drifts down to the left so we just camped here. What a lonely place.
Having worked my whole life downtown L.A. @ 1st and Grand, when our time was up, Jeanie and I had every intention to move where we had 4 seasons and it was a good distance to our neighbors' homes and to town. Our little Gold Rush town of Nevada City California has not one stop signal. Lots of stop signs but no light. 2500 people. There is a depth of Arts support, especially in music that belies the size of the town. It's still a bit busy but we live well out of town on the west slope, Northern Sierra Nevada.
I'm on several forums including the Truck Camper forum on here, the Expedition Portal and a Cummins diesel digest, TDR. There is a lot of interest and a lot of topics to cover in each, although I think the Expedition people are fooling themselves thinking they could ever go on an actual expedition. Those days are gone forever. It's only the Expedition Look they are interested in. Here on Boondocking, most are pretty secretive about destinations and 'finds' way out there and not interested in a big social hoopla. High Tech plays a tiny role with boondocks, generally. Also, stealth plays a part in boon docking which means they don't want to be seen either. The polar opposite of the ExPortal folks. They want to be seen. We just blend in with the scenery smelling the creosote until we expire. Good enough.
