Outstanding boondock camping!

Not alot of people here, wide open camping with vegetation everywhere. Donkeys, snakes and turanchulas. Donkeys are here and gone, I've only seen one turanchula and no snakes yet. I've been here for 5 months so far and just love it. You can pack up and move to several blm sites right here.
