Nevada Boondocking

October 16, 2017

Someone told me recently that Nevada is 85% public land – such as that managed by the BLM and Forest Service.  I didn’t check out the information but from what I’ve seen, it isn’t terribly wrong.

I’m currently located on a nice big chunk of BLM managed land near the Carson River and Silver Springs, Nevada. Missy was built for this type of “camping” (living) – known as boondocking. Lots of water storage, lots of solar power, lots of battery capacity, and lots of heat for the cold nights… Oh wait… I don’t have heat yet!!!! Ack! It’s cold at night!!!

Nightly rate?  Just right!!

The negative??  It is a long drive

      Desolate!?!?! No, no, noo….. I wake up every morning and gather the manna on the ground, walk down to the river for water, and watch the flaming cloud in the sky to know when to move… 🙂

      Very true! Plus, the kitty cats like to be able to get out and wonder around (which I don’t let them do when there are any people around).

      Sorry Mark, I’m not sure where that is. I was about 15 miles south of Silver Springs, NV when those photos were taken.
