LOL, ok I stand corrected... I was dry camping not Boondocking. I may have had a fire pit and table, but I was completely self contained for the weekend.
No water, electric or sewer was provided. Water was available about 1/2 mille away if we had needed it. Dawnie, it was camping!
Not only was it a beautiful spot, but we had the place almost to ourselves (two gals tent camping). Prior to this it was always at state parks, and commercial campgrounds. Here in Missouri, to get a decent spot in a state park, reservations have be made months in advanced, and the parks are usually completely full on the weekends. This trip truly gave us our sense of being out in nature away from it all.
Anyway, by trying it out successfully, we will try to venture to more primitive sites if we can find them. I lived in Las Vegas for 12 years, didn't RV then, but rode quads on BLM land. I can tell you that out here in the Midwest, it is a lot harder to find private areas to get to
safely and legally then it is in the state of Nevada with I believe 85% of the state is BLM land. But if the opportunities are there, I will find them!
To sum up my point of the OP, with a small amount of planning, being able to be self contained, there is so much more out there that I have been missing out on....
