With all the state, regional, and national parks are closed to overnight stays I found a BLM spot somewhat nearby.
The road becomes dirt for the last 10ish miles or so, and I was happy to find it in pretty great condition all things considered.
They have something like 5-7 developed spots with picnic tables, fire rings, and overhead canopies (no hook-ups but they did have a pooper), but there are also about a dozen large open areas that you can camp, too (without the tables, ring, ...). We ended up right outside the main developed area in a nice level spot. I didn't use the makeshift fire ring you can see in the photo due to the pines nearby and the ground being littered in pine needles. I don't need that in my life...
The cat did well on the trip mostly sleeping in his cubby until we arrived.
Nice sunsets on top of the mountain (crispy 40F at night).
Can't complain about waking up to this view.

Here I am boondocking at valley of the Gods in UT last year. Would this be considered a religious post? :W
Why why would anyone bother to even include that note unless one was trying to stir up that pot?

Monongahela National Forest in WV last week.
It was brutally hot and sticky and we were just parked for the night, so I ran the portable generator out of the bed of the pickup in order to facilitate an early departure the next day. It was surprisingly not too loud inside the trailer.
Wake up post.

Sitting behind the 600 yard line at a match. First time I went with no generator. My single battery no solar lasted the weekend running the fridge igniting the HW tank, running lights the radio for a bit. It was pretty much done Sun afternoon as the slide came in a bit slowly.
Normally when I go it is to hot to be without AC after being out all day. If I was going to do that, I would have stayed in the tent.
Grilled kilbasa, mixed veggies, and Dollar gen instant potatoes, that are surprisingly OK on one of my theft proof Camping world tables. Theft proof because they are about as ugly a color as possible, but they were on sale.
