Thank you. It is a lovely place to camp. What exactly is to boondock? To camp in the brush without tents?

These links will enlighten you to the official definition of "boondocking"..
When we retired, we lived in a motorhome for 'bout six years, but never
chose to boondock, but I have a nephew that's living in a fifth wheel and
that's the only camping they do.....he also works from where ever he goes.

Living near Florida's First Coast, we have beaches, wonderful weather most of the year, Spanish Colonial re-enactors in the nation's oldest city, the Florida birding trail, fresh seafood, and of course......gators. Florida in Spanish means flowers. We have alot of flowers. I am in an airport so I have looked at all the photos of everyone's area. I'm ready to go to those wonderful areas and and explore! I've been to so many wonderful areas in New Mexico, I could actually promote that area too; Love that state. Colorado is very beautiful, as is Canada! I want to go! ( I cannot post more from my area, as I am limited to what is in my tablet. )

Oh, yes. That is what I call camping. I only went once in the state of Washington and Oregon and we hiked in 40 lbs. on our backs (hip burns unbelievable, and my husband said, "If you whine, you will never go camping again. This was your idea remember!" ) It was beautiful, however, and I can't imagine wanting to go camping any other way. Like, who wants neighbors when you are looking for solitude.
I remember we hiked up and in the mountains six miles to a beautiful lake and suddenly heard this "Hello?" I told my husband to go and tell him this lake is taken and up ahead two miles there is another one just waiting for him. He, of course, informed me that we did not have property rights on the lake and simply needed to be neighborly, and unfortunately, he was a very friendly guy.

I don't call that primitive. I am a cultural anthropologist and hate when people call nomadic people primitive. It simply is just a chosen way of life; different than we choose to live.
People just don't understand that not everyone wants to live the way we do. I still remember my first discussion group in my cultural anthropology class (I was an adult student with at a university with very, very affluent children who all got beamers as they turned 16) and his first comment was, "I just don't get it. Why does everyone get so upset with us when all we want to do is go over there and show them a better way of life?" With my deer in the headlights look, I turned and asked him, "What gives you the right to say we have the better way of life?" Good Grief! His answer, of course, is the standard, "Well we live in nice homes, have electricity, water, sleep in nice beds, drive cars, etc, etc." I believe I checked out that day.
