Boondocking

This is a quiet place approximately seven miles west and north from Bethany, Missouri. There are only four camping spots- gravel spots for campers or the grass for tents. There are no facilities or electricity of any kind. It’s a hard packed gravel of about 1/4 mile, so I was able to ride my motorcycle in and park without any trouble. In the distance, you can sometimes hear traffic on the road, but overall it’s just crickets and birds. There’s a stream nearby, and there are rules for fishing posted on the bulletin board. The site is well kept and clean, and one of the fire rings had a stack of wood. It’s a pleasant surprise. I’m sitting here listening to crickets and Bob White Quail, etc..

It’s a wonderful concept but I can’t get it to display my filters. Zooming in worked for a while and then stopped working for some reason. I have tried turning my phone on and off, deleting the app and reloading, making sure my filters are applied but all my filters won’t show up! I have pushed and read about every button but still can’t get my filters to show on the map. Had it working once, then all filters gone and nothing seems to work to get them.

I find that using BoonDocking works well in Country I don’t know. You can list the filters and zero in on what your needs are. It seems to be accurate and is easy to use. Went to the East Coast last year from Washington state and back and it came in very handy. Heading to the Southwest this week and I know the approximate places I’ll be spending the night and I’ve looked ahead and highlighted different options.
