Finding Magical RV Boondocking
So, I promised I would write about how we found our awesome wild camping location along Magic Reservoir in Idaho a few weeks ago.

Arrived! Back at Cape Blanco!!
We’ve been in motion since last March when we left Florida with this one single destination on our itinerary – Cape Blanco Lighthouse in Oregon.
