My Z3100 stayed at that same spot in Nashville TN. Some kids dumped their bikes by our RV and went down by that rock and started jumping in the lake. That has to be Elm Hills.
I guess we're snowbirds. We are retired FTers who travel Spring through Fall, wintering over where it's warm in places like Yuma, AZ, Quartzsite, and S. TX. We boondock almost all the time. Our 1999 35ft Class A is set-up for boondocking with big tanks that easily last the BLM and FS 14-day camping limit. We have good insulation (dual pane windows, etc.), a tag axle for a large carrying capacity and a large solar system. We haven't plugged into a power pole or run our generator in over 2 years as we have over 5,000 watts of solar and 23.5 kwh of LiFePo-4 batteries onboard (equivalent to 18, 100ah Battleborns. This lets us run everything in our coach, including 24/7 A/C and heat from our high efficiency heat pump. We traveled through 11 states last year and about the same the year before, but we do so at a slower pace, stopping to smell the roses where possible. We usually camp in one spot for 2 weeks before moving on, exploring the area and running errands in our little 4-cylinder 30mpg toad before we leave the area. When traveling to our next destination we like to keep it under 200 miles a day, overnighting at Walmarts (where we stock up on groceries), roadside rest areas, Cracker Barrels, Bass Pro Shops, free city parks, free Casino lots, etc. We retired 6 yrs ago, sold everything, bought a motorhome and hit the road. It was the best decision we ever made. We started out traveling about 8-9,000 miles a year in our coach, but we've since cut that in half as we've learned to take our time to enjoy this lifestyle more. We also discovered we loved boondocking in beautiful, remote wilderness areas rather than being tightly wedged into an RV park, all lined up with other campers like sardines in a can. The freedom of boondocking, getting to go when and where you like, any time you like virtually for free with no reservations is exhilarating.
California leads the way with feel good legislation and frankly do not appreciate the value of RVers. Other states have option to adopt CA and unfortunately many do. While climate change and position is and real concern this legislation will do nothing for that cause given most RVs only travel 4K miles a year and are few comparatively in number it will do nothing for green house gases-- but they will feel smug for passing it. The irony is CA is home of the number 1 busted destination for RVers (by number of visitors). I recommend voting with your dollar and go elsewhere where. I do appreciate CA is trying to do something but do not appreciate they appear to have not really thought out their “solution.” Thanks for watching and commenting.

That is Elm Hills. We stay there often.
@@TreeTalkerTheTraveler I knew I wasn't crazy. That's the exact spot we stayed in.

@@SuperSushidog we love Boondocking as well and agree it’s exciting! Thanks for watching and commenting.
i don't think the van lifers sipping coffee watching the scenery out the back actually exist off the internet
Maybe not. lol. Thanks watching.
What about overlanding?
Yep, they are unique type.
Why do states end RV sales? They are not getting their property taxes! Calling it a climate thing!
