It sounds like the wife wants to go to Lundy Canyon or Virginia Lakes, so I guess I will scan google earth a little further north. Fall colors ought to be awesome.

do you have coordinations to any specific locales that you like? Township/Range/Section of previous spots you like?

In the near future we are headed towards Mammoth Lakes to do some hiking. Was wondering if anyone knows of any good boondocking locations to spend a few days? Are the hot springs out in the valley still accessable? I haven't been out to those in 30 years, so I have no idea what to expect. Any...

Looking for a spot on a Friday, Saturday is probably next to impossible. We actually decided to go for a hike in the area the week before so we could scout out where we could possibly camp. We decided to actually go camping on Tuesday to get a "good spot". This area-apparently- is pretty...

Just got back from my "maiden voyage" with my 5th wheel up to Hope Valley/Carson Pass area of the central Sierras. As an FYI, there is a really nice camping area right off the side of the road, starting about 4 miles up Blue Lakes road on the right hand side. Where the first sign that denotes a...

I like the dog thing, I have two labs that bark at each other and that is a really good reason not to have anyone nearby.

I get it for the weekend, but for longer stays........

Planning on going out next weekend in an area that is thick with bears. I have a 5th wheel with a ladder going up on the roof. I was wondering what everyone does with their garbage until they find a decent place to dump it. I was thinking of putting in a 20 gal garbage can on the roof of the 5th...

She is tolerant to dirt roads, its the type of dirt roads that have big potholes, steep 4wd grades and overall bouncing around that she doesn't like. As long as the dirt road is somewhat decent, she remains clam.

Funny, i am a "talker" too. So today my wife and I went up to Carson Pass  just to scout around and we found some pretty nice boondocking locations on the side of the road. Apparently those people don't read this forum as they were stacked pretty close to each other. Personally, I like my...

Are there any "rules of the road" you follow when you are boondocking? One that come to my mind, what distance from another vehicle is considered "cool" if you pull into an area where you want to park and there is another vehicle there. Not knowing what a reasonable distance is to ensure the...

Bob- nice site you got here, I may stick around. Thanks for the heads up, now I am trying to decipher the maps. I went on google earth and marked out some potential spots and may go do a reconnaissance tomorrow to see if anything works for our trip next week. We are used to staying at...

Your "handle" looks familiar, I may have talked to you at one point. No prospecting, just going with the wife and dogs to try out the (new to us) 24.5 foot fifth wheel. Used to tow a trailer, and figured the 5th would get us into more remote places. You got me thinking though..... Maybe I ought...

and I came upon your site and posted in this thread: "real boondocking in CA" in regards to pot growers and other undesirables found in the foothills on gold streams. I am a gold prospector with several claims in the northern Sierras in CA and spend a lot of time driving down back roads looking...

Hey High Desert ! Where are you out of? I am in Truckee. I am looking to go over to Carson Pass soon, and looking for some good boondocking locations.... any suggestions?

Just joined your forum as I was looking for boondocking locations in the Sierras. I thought I'd chime in on your discussion. I am a gold miner who has a claim tucked way back in a remote canyon. As far as Pot growers are concerned, you will NOT find them on the main road. Especially near a river...
