Now, as to the Boondocking part of today’s blog title, well, I should learn never to say never!  After several days of trying  - unsuccessfully - to find a spot for both our rigs in an RV park somewhere in Arizona, Janna convinced us to give boondocking a try.  She assures us the place where they are parked – about 20 miles northeast of Quartzsite will be easy for us to get into with our Castle.

The closest we’ve been to boondocking in this rig has been a few nights in Walmart parking lots, and an overnighter at a Cummins facility.  Otherwise, we have been tethered to the almighty power pole, and at least water hook-ups.  So the idea of “officially” camping with no hook-ups for multiple days (and nights!) has not been on our agenda.

We’re busily making lists of all the things we need to do and get taken care of in the next couple of days before we head off to the wilderness.  A new adventure!
