you care to elaborate on keeping the bugs away with dryer sheets? any particular scent bugs don't like? I heard spiders don't like mint; peppermint to be exact. but some other van blog says that's a myth. and what about scorpions? i suppose those are somethin' to beware of in AZ. any smells...

Now there Tango, that is an EXCELLENT idea! I was thinkin' that myself, as I read your post. If we had a way to find each other, we could make contact

Oh thanks a bunch Wandering Rose! P.S., how can I message you on here in private?

Thanks; curious . . .where have you traveled and stealth parked so far?

Thanks! Yeah, I can remember reading one of Bob's writings on when he first started out after the split at home. I think he thought he wasn't going to ever like living in his van : )

Don't get me started on those "safe parking" lots. Years ago, when they first opened in San Diego I checked into them. They're "safe" if you want to be treated like a 'ward of the state'. They want a lot of information from you, just to stay in their lots, and they're VERY picky about who...

this is pretty neat; I can use this info as well as the other person. I would like to visit these two areas some time in the future. good to know the rest areas around these cities are pretty safe. the rest area here in San Diego are not that way. A couple of killings over the years

Well, last nite I was put out of the space I was in at an apt. So tomorrow, I will be starting my new journey as a stealth person in San Diego. I had hunted down a few places to go i.e. a Walmart lot, and a lot between 2 hotels off the I-15fwy and Scripps Ranch. I welcome any more leads...

how do you PM on here?

thank you rruff; been nice chatting. I always enjoy reading your posts

WOW! What an eye-opener. Sort of like the stuff they told me told me when I worked in the medical field and Animal Control. The last case of tetanous was in the 1940's, and the last case of rabies in humans was 'way back when', as well. But there is still a scare about those two illnesses...

Yeah, the toilet thing, I've learned, will definitely be an issue once I'm out there full-time. I did a trial run of transporting the "goods" to throw away somewhere after using my "make-shift" toilet that I made out of a bakery bucket, hefty bags, and a pool noodle. It didn't go well. The...

This is really informative. Good tips on handling interactions with cops; I was wondering about that. Also, good to know about not taking MW jobs at the resorts; you've got to earn more. And it was reasuring to know you don't absolutely have to set out with a fridge, shower, toilet, etc. Just...

yes, the downtown one, thanks. I also called Cabella's and they said it's o.k. there too. I've gotten several mentions of St. George, UT for free camping. One guy I saw getting gas for his rig said that St. George is full of places to camp, but didn't name any places. Do you know about any...

Cool; that's the Walmart I called about a month ago just to test the waters. The guy who answered the phone was pleasant and I didn't feel unwelcome. 'sex rocks' ? Definately can use extra money

I am planning to boondock in the Idaho Falls area once the weather clears there. I'm relieved to know that there are at least a few retailers in that area who aren't afraid to allow boondockers to stay on the property. Does anyone want to share what their experience boondocking in this part of...

Hi. I'll be beginning my stealth parking next weekend in San Diego. I have looked up a few ideas that were listed online when I googled. There doesn't seem to be any retail places to overnite at. Beach areas seem sketchy. Hotel parking lots? Has anyone any suggestions? I welcome any ideas...

this rinse-free perineal wash . . . is it on Amazon? what do you think about washing with a vinegar spray bottle? i wander if that leaves a bad smell

hhhmmm . . . will look into propane or butane heat. I'll have to make sure of ventilation though; I don't have anything other than windows to crack

I appreciate your input. I didn't know such a thing existed. I will look online to see what's out there. A small tent to go around my head would probably do the trick; Thanks : )
