Last day of prep before a week long road trip, I've only got stops for day 1 planned and I still haven't picked a campsite for day 1.

Good news is that I'm going with friends and I'm the most prepared.

This is gonna be a disaster.

The best road trips always are.

But at least I'm not in charge of the play list.

Dang I usually need to reserve a campsite a few weeks in advanced to get something available around here unless you're staying in like BLM land or something

I love this. I’m doing a solo road trip at the end of the month on a motorcycle. 10 days. Vague destination. No plans. It’s gonna be epic.

You need to active PANIC. Without the last minute PANIC, nothing gets done.

Good news is that the area we're driving through has a lot of BLM land and National Forests/Wilderness areas so if some of the "first come first serve" campsites are full we still have options.

This isn't the next "I need to survive for 3 days without pooping" situation, right? ...right?

Plenty of time on the road to think

BLM land is rough without a fully off-grid RV.

I've got a pretty well equipped Gen 1 CRV, it makes most of the BLM land in eastern Oregon pretty easy to camp in.
