Default Re: Boondocking

Well we did it again this year. When school was out we packed up the RV and left. We were gone for a little less than a month.
We left on the 28th of June. We finally got out of here on the day we left at 1515 hrs. Drove up US-395. Got to Adelanto Ca. at 1830hrs. Went in to the Grocery Store, did some shopping and had dinner. Then we went on to Ridgecrest,Ca. We stayed at the Elks Lodge. Got up the next morning and drove to Lone Pine, Ca. We went to the BLM Campground at Tuttle Creek. (Can't beat $2.50 a day) We stayed there for 6 days. Then we went into Minden NV. Stayed at the Carson Valley Inn RV resort. ($28.00 a Day) We were there for 3 days, Then we went back south on US395, Went to Bodie, CA. (Ghost town) can't camp there. Went to the BLM Campground at Crowley Lake. (Again can't beat $2.50 a day) We were there for a couple of days. Then we went to Horton Creek Campground 9 miles N of Bishop, We were there for 12 Days. We wanted to stay at Convict Lake but the place was full up. After leaving Horton Creek we went to back to Tuttle Creek. Great Trout fishing, Then we came home. With our Solar system we did not have to run the generator at all. We did run for the a/c a couple of hours on afternoon it was only 105 degrees.
Had a great trip. We were home for two days and then went out again for a week. I purchased an 2000w pure sine wave inverter for the RV and also bought another solar panel when the panel gets here I am going to install all of it.

As it was we did not run the generator more than 5 hours during the hole trip. Also if you have an inter-agency pass from the BLM/NP/Army
Corps of Engineers and you are disabled or over 62 you can stay for half price at any BLM Campground most only cost $5.00 a day.
