Boondocking

Hi, My Name Is Dean

And this site is about Boondocking, Camping, Riding Dirt Bikes, ATV’s, and Snow Machines out in the great outdoors. I have been camping for many years and did not know it was called boondocking. What I thought boondocking was to travel through the trees on my dirt bike or snow machine. I did not know that so many people go camping or traveling and call it boondocking. Well, no matter as long as people go out and enjoy life somewhere and not be tied to the big city. I am not opposed to living in the city. I just enjoy my time in the country, rather it is flat land or the mountains, valleys, or the desert. There are a lot of people that travel the world and I think that is great. There are a few countries I would like to see. But there are so many beautiful places here in our country that are extremely beautiful that I will probably never get to see. So many rivers, streams, oceans, lakes, ponds, and swamps you can camp in or near, where you can fish, swim or just listen to the water. There is nothing more soothing and relaxing than the rain when it falls on your RV or tent. There are so many things you can do fish, hike, ride a bike, motorcycle, ATV’s. quads, 4 wheelers while you are out enjoying the boondocking life. There is so much wildlife to see, birds to listen to and lots of little critters too.
