Some people call it dry camping, dispersed camping, wild camping but its best known in this region as boondocking.<!--more--> It\u2019s where you go out into the \u201cboonies\u201d or an undeveloped area and camp for free (usually) without any hookups or amenities. There are millions of acres of BLM land mainly in the west that allow for this. As newbies to this whole style of camping we had a lot of homework to do as far as prepping our RV and how do you find places to stay. There\u2019s also the issue of is it safe.

We made a quick pit stop in Las Cruces NM to hit up a T-Mobile store to add to our keeping connected arsenal. That turned out to be not such a quick stop as we were in a busy area with no place to park a big rig towing a car. We had to drive on past the T-Mobile store where we located a Home Depot with a parking lot we could turn around in. We unhitched the car and I headed to the phone store while Rod stayed with the RV. Of course it\u2019s Saturday and they are super busy but over an hour later we have a phone, unlimited data and we\u2019re back on the road.<\/p>\n<p>We turned to Passport America and found a small place in Bowie AZ to spend the night. Nothing fancy here, but cheap and easy access on and off Interstate 10. In fact when I called on the way to make sure they had on open spot I wasn\u2019t sure I had the right place. They answered the phone, \u201cDwayne\u2019s homemade jerky, something else I couldn\u2019t quite catch, and Mountain View RV Park\u201d. This was also Rod\u2019s birthday so in celebration we sampled the jerky and washed it down with some Dos Equis and a lime.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_full-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_full-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb av_one_full  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-028dd9ecf3bbc946045ac81cbdd03d76\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-028dd9ecf3bbc946045ac81cbdd03d76 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-028dd9ecf3bbc946045ac81cbdd03d76 .av-caption-image-overlay-bg{\nopacity:0.4;\nbackground-color:#000000;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-028dd9ecf3bbc946045ac81cbdd03d76 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-028dd9ecf3bbc946045ac81cbdd03d76 av-styling- av-img-linked avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  noHover av-overlay-on-hover'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvdreamtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_1557-1030x773.jpg\" class='avia_image '  aria-label='IMG_1557'><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay\"><div class=\"av-caption-image-overlay-bg\"><\/div><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay-position\"><div class=\"av-image-caption-overlay-center\"><p>Jerky and Beer.

We found a place called Coyote Howls RV. We booked here for 2 nights to give ourselves a base to search out a spot and to scout it out first by car. We had read about a place called Gunsight Wash and scoped it out. It was doable, but we also heard about a spot called Darby Well Road. After inspecting both places we decided on Darby Well Road. Now, our choice meant driving in several miles on a dirt road but it was the view that really did it for us. That\u2019s why we took the car in solo first. We also checked the forecast to make sure there was no chance of rain. Had it rained, we probably wouldn\u2019t have gotten out for a while.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_third-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_third-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_third-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb av_one_third  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_textblock-a46e63d3243520f360b66d40f943954f\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-av_textblock-a46e63d3243520f360b66d40f943954f .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-a46e63d3243520f360b66d40f943954f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>One of the references we also carry along with us are benchmark maps.

><p>Although we felt like we could get away from it all out here, we still have to work. Meaning we are NOT retired, far from it. Another reason we scouted with the car first was to make sure we had a working cell signal. We had great Verizon signal and very workable AT&amp;T so we could stay connected and continue to work remotely.<\/p>\n<p>You have to remember we have no hookups. Out here you must be self-contained and generate your own power. We have 4 solar panels on the roof of our RV that charge a separate battery bank. Connected to that battery bank is a 3000 watt inverter. We literally plug our RV into the invertor and it powers the entire RV. While it does a great job, it will not run the air conditioner and even the coffee pot can really pull some watts. If the batteries run down too far we kick on our gas generator to make up the difference. We even changed every light bulb inside our motor home to LED bulbs to use less energy when boondocking. We have a whole post we are working on dedicated to our solar system coming out shortly. The other thing about this style of camping is you have to be quite conservative in your water use. Our fresh water tank holds 78 gallons and it was more than plenty. We could have easily gone several more days.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb av_one_half  avia-builder-el-37  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-4ad1413e7c4e0b86a994dde181ce190a\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-4ad1413e7c4e0b86a994dde181ce190a img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-4ad1413e7c4e0b86a994dde181ce190a .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-4ad1413e7c4e0b86a994dde181ce190a av-styling- av-img-linked avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-38  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvdreamtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_2566-1030x687.jpg\" class='avia_image '  aria-label='IMG_2566'><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-10466 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-10466 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/www.rvdreamtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_2566-495x400.jpg' alt='' title='IMG_2566'  height=\"400\" width=\"495\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-39  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-78780c4e299948ba191a922ff09e108f\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-78780c4e299948ba191a922ff09e108f img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-78780c4e299948ba191a922ff09e108f .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-78780c4e299948ba191a922ff09e108f av-styling- av-img-linked avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-40  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvdreamtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_2564-2-1030x687.jpg\" class='avia_image '  aria-label='IMG_2564 (2)'><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-10467 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-10467 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/www.rvdreamtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_2564-2-495x400.jpg' alt='' title='IMG_2564 (2)'  height=\"400\" width=\"495\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_full-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_full-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb av_one_full  avia-builder-el-41  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_textblock-a46e63d3243520f360b66d40f943954f\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-av_textblock-a46e63d3243520f360b66d40f943954f .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-a46e63d3243520f360b66d40f943954f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>We found time to take some walks, hiking, a camp fire and just talk to each other.
