Spontaneous Camping

For the last fifty years we have practiced adventuring with a general idea of where it is we want to explore however, the day by day details are often left to serendipity...letting the day unfold as it will in front of us. I have never been a fan of making reservations. If a park, restaurant or campground is that much in demand we are in the wrong region or traveling at the wrong time of year. We developed this approach early in our relationship through bicycle touring...long self-propelled expeditions through remote regions of North America, Europe and New Zealand. Decades later this approach has been much easier by using our camper vehicles. We are 'boondockers'...we find what we need by paying close attention to the terrain unfolding in front of us. Some call it 'creative homelessness'.
