We are camped just outside the entrance to Yosemite National Park. Most of the forest service campgrounds are closed and gated for the season or too expensive for our budget. Our site is a small pull out a few miles into the National Forest, on a back road along a beautiful little stream. There is even a little dippin’ spot where we took a little dip! A single vehicle has passed by while we are setting up, probably bummed because we found this spot first (dispersed camping in National Forests is quite popular, free, and an under used resource allowable because of our hard earned tax dollars).
We found this site the same way we usually do; we had the Plan ‘B’. The plan B is were we spot a couple of, just OK, potential campsites on the way in. This massively takes the pressure off of us to find the right spot for the night. We then can relax and push on to the perfect spot for the night! Like here!
Hi there! Enjoyed reading about your travels. I’m in Grants Pass and run a small group called Rogue Rovers. I’m trying to reach out in this small community of those who enjoy Land Rovers and the outdoors. There’s a Facebook and Google group. Let me know if you’d like to meet up some time. Safe travels.

Hi Mackenzies, Dennis and I wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying your adventures, so happy you were able to see the wild horses on the Steens in Oregon. Dennis and I decided against hunting elk in the Eagle cap wilderness, it turned out it was a good decision, it snowed during the hunting season up there, we couldn’t have done it anyway. But we did hunting the Cascades for that week and really enjoyed it , we weren’t sucessful but enjoyed trying, beautiful senery, wonderful mountain views , the last 2 days a storm moved in and the elk moved out, they headed for lower country, by the time we realized what happened the season was over. I guess we’ll hope our muzzleloader deer hunt in December is more successful, or we will go vegetarian😉. Keep the stories coming, safe travels. Your friend’s Dennis and Virgina
Hi Dennis and Virginia, We are so glad to hear from you! We really enjoyed our time with you at Bear Creek. So sorry the hunt wasn’t fruitful, fingers crossed for muzzle loader season. We have also been snowed on several times. We are heading south in search of warmer weather!
