    Need advice on boondocking locations for a car.

    Thank you so much!

    Need advice on boondocking locations for a car.

    This sounds intriguing, thank you! Although, I am having a hard time finding on the map. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I'm also not used to finding these out of the way places on Google maps. Most of my camping was done in pre-google days and now I've been using freecampsites.net and luck...

    Thank you so much for these suggestions! They both sound good. :-)

    Need advice on boondocking locations for a car.

    Thank you! Yes, I do have 4 doors and now I can see that would work! Victorville.....hadn't thought of Victorville. I guess I should just check with freecampsites? Funny, Sedona was the first place I thought of but one of the weather apps that I checked said it might snow! I'm not feeling like...

    Need advice on boondocking locations for a car.

    I guess not farther than about an 8 hour drive from LA.

    Need advice on boondocking locations for a car.

    Hello, I am still mostly a lurker on this forum and haven't posted much, but I thought I would ask you all for some advice. My situation: I live in L.A. and hate it. Not going to be able to be a full-time Nomad just yet, so until then, and to keep my sanity, I need to take semi regular...

    Heading for AZ tomorrow boondocking area suggestions

    I just left from the Sedona/Cottonwood area.....I would've loved to meet you. I was on FR525 (about 4 miles in, I think) off of the 89A. It was gorgeous with amazing views. I highly recommend it.

    Jucy is selling their mini van RVs

    I sent a request for a price. They are selling 2010 vans (Dodge Caravans?) with a range of 150,000 to 180,000 miles going for $9,500 to $11,500. They will paint it white or any color of your choosing. If you don't want the "penthouse" they can remove it for $500 less. All vans sold AS IS but...

    Yes, I noticed that today too. I look every day-ish, for my regular dose of inspiration and will rewatch many of them. I'm bummed. I hope they show up again soon.

    Taking Roxy (my red Versa) into Sedona/Cottonwood

    Yogidog, thank you for your supportive words. Yes under thirty........smh... I am back now from my dispersed camping trip into Sedona. Despite the fiasco with my niece, I would say it was a huge success. I had intended to post in this Captain's log more but I ended up choosing to be frugal with...

    Sleeping in a Nissan Versa Hatchback...nuts?

    Thank you everyone, for your replies. :-) I ended up trying it out on a camping trip last week and I must say.....I really enjoyed sleeping in my Versa! It did take some fanagling though. I pushed the front seat forward and then the seat back all the way down (taking the headrest off first)...

    Taking Roxy (my red Versa) into Sedona/Cottonwood

    Yogidog, I didn't see that thread, where is it? I know, crazy winds. Found out it was the tail end of a hurricane or something?......lol! I did say I wanted an adventure! My niece and I had a great time.....until she started to be a pain. She is very often very rude and doesn't see it. But...

    Taking Roxy (my red Versa) into Sedona/Cottonwood

    so, yesterday, we barely made it to a site before it started getting dark. All the equipment I have is borrowed, like the tent. My niece wanted to stay in the tent and not be alone, so I gave up on the plan to try out sleeping in the car. However, the winds collapsed our tent. Probably had it up...

    Taking Roxy (my red Versa) into Sedona/Cottonwood

    Hello everyone! Not a huge Captain's log here, but I thought I should commemorate my first step towards intentional nomad-hood. This is a baby-step practice run. So, my niece and I are off to Sedona/Cottonwood right now and are planning to camp for the week. We stayed last night at my Dad's...

    Sleeping in a Nissan Versa Hatchback...nuts?

    thank you for all the replies! :-) I think I am going to have to find out for myself. I will bring a tent just in case. In the meantime, I am drooling over every Van, RV, Trailer I see....lol.

    Girls' Room Chit Chat Jumble Thread

    anewbiewannabe, here,.... you can borrow a snuggle with my love-bug baby. :) Her name is Kali and she will definitely be coming with us if we ever go full-time RVing. I'm still new here so I hope I am posting the pic correctly....

    Sleeping in a Nissan Versa Hatchback...nuts?

    Has anyone here ever slept in a Nissan Versa hatchback? I'm going camping next week and I think I want to try it. The front seats fold down flat and I can fully lay out. I think it will be more comfortable than a tent. Am I crazy? Alas! I don't have an RV/truck/Van/Camper yet!

    Cooking over a fire?

    Hi! I am excitedly getting ready for a quickie camping trip with my niece to Sedona/Cottonwood. I'm looking at this and subsequent camping trips as a prep for possibly going full-time in an RV, as a retirement plan (my honey is skeptical. Basically, I need to build the dream and he will come). ...

    Hello! L.A.-lien dying on the vine here and in need of adventure! ;-)

    No hunting for gold...wish I had. But I did fish for the first time in my life. And, not on the first time but probably the third time out fishing, I caught a 40 lb King Salmon! And it was at the fishing hole on the Homer Spit....kinda like combat fishing, so I was pretty lucky. It sure was...

    Hello! L.A.-lien dying on the vine here and in need of adventure! ;-)

    Hello! I thought I would finally come out of lurker-land and introduce myself. I chose the name “Mystic” as it was the nickname given to me when I was solo-backpacking through Alaska in the mid-90s. I have been obsessed with watching all of the Enigmatic Nomadics videos and any other...
