I am very sorry to hear about this.  I’m struggling for better words. I’ll just second what Queen wrote as I think she is on the mark. Damian

It will be 11-21 January 2018 in Quartzsite, Arizona. Bob announced it in this video he posted on 26 April (at 3:30): Damian

Glacier Water has vending machines all over the US: http://glacierwater.com/refill-station-finder/ Just enter the name of your town or zip code.  You need to use your own jugs (1 or 5 gal.). The cost is between $0.25 and $0.35 per gallon.   Damian

I am still camped near the site of the 2016 summer RTR (N 35.218454, W 111.723365) and this area is not affected by either fire. A ranger drove past me a short time ago, but did not stop. I expect if the fire was a concern he would have said something. Kendrick Mountain is about 15 miles north...

Tomorrow I will arrive at the summer RTR site and plan to stay in that general area until the end of the month. Damian White high-top Sprinter

I found an informative article in Wand’rly Magazine from March 2017 titled, “The Average Nightly Cost of RV Camping in the United States.” It has a lot of data and figures about the current cost of campgrounds broken down by private, public, region, and individual states.   Some things are not...

Okay, the photos did it - I am on my way! I’m in eastern Iowa right now and it will take me a few days to travel.  I will follow the directions Bob posted for the 2015 gathering unless someone suggests otherwise. Damian

When I attended Descend on Bend in October, a couple of volunteers were checking-in people as they arrived to the campsite. All they asked was whether or not I had signed their liability waiver. I told them I had and they waved me by. They never verified I signed the waiver did not even ask my...

I will attend and I am happy to make a donation. Damian

For those who resupply in Blythe I found water machines that cost $0.25 per gallon or $1.00 for five (nearby Glacier machines are $0.30/$1.50). These machines are a half block west of the Smart & Final Grocery Store on Hobsonway in a parking lot next to Salinas Pharmacy (E. Hobsonway at S. 4th St.)

Thank you, Erin for organizing this!  I will be by and will bring some wood. I'm not sure what else I'm bringing, but I'll be at the store tomorrow and will think of something. Damian

Hello and welcome! I use Glacier Water vending machines and have never had trouble finding one. The the cost varies by location, but between $0.25 and $0.40 per gallon. You need to have your own jugs (1 or 5 gallon). The locator on their website is...

My mistake - the thread title clear says "NY State." Regardless, maybe the information is of some use. Damian

I take it you mean New York City (it would not be a state matter).     I found a couple of dated articles about the legality of living in in a vehicle. This one from 2013 says there does not appear to be laws about it in NYC...

You are right: parking regulations in DC are stringent (and enforcement is tight).  I suggest staying in Northern Virginia - specifically, along Route 1 south of I-495 - and taking public transportation into the city.  That stretch of Route 1 (known as the Hybla Valley) has a lot of strip...
