Still Boondocking in Colorado
A week ago I spent three days and two nights boondocking along a state highway here in Colorado at an elevation of 9,000 feet. Winter is coming late this year, so I took advantage of the good roads to boondock at the trailhead for my elk hunt. I only spent the evening hours and slept in my trailer, and only ran the furnace fan with the battery. I used AA battery "UFO" lights and it was cool enough that I put my food in the fridge without running it and everything stayed cold. I was pretty happy with the trip, mainly because it was the coldest trip i've made and I gained some insight on what it takes to boondock in my trailer this time of year. Here's my rig on the Continental Divide on the way home.2.5KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Fall Boondocking in Colorado
Continued thanks for the latest replies. I am very familiar with the area south of Trout Creek Pass and east of the Arkansas River, and I agree that there are lots of spots there and that it stays comparatively mild later than points north and higher elevation. I used to hunt elk and antelope in that area. Will watch the weather and plan (or cancel) accordingly.411Views0likes0Comments
