- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- You'll just love our new, free boondocking spot in the gorgeous mountains of Flagstaff, Arizona. Whether you're full time or vacationing as an RVer, this location will knock your socks off.
the exact coordinates are N 35° 23.011 W 111° 33.307
The area surrounding flagstaff looks awesome for full time boondocking all summer long, assuming wildfires don't chase you away. I'm thinking I may try the area for summer 2021. Lots of free 14 day areas all around with flagstaff centrally located.
Hey, guys I finally got the Garmin coordinates converted so they work in Google Earth and also Google GPS. This is for the driveway entrance you see in the video. Just drive on out on the field and pick your spot. See you out there!

Wow, thank you! We may be through there this fall. We'll definitely check it out. 😀
Just checked it out and surprise! It's where we camped. The ground was way too soft for a heavy motorhome when we were there, but there are a few small spots as you head to the hilltop. Also, you can get trapped and have to back out like we did. The through road takes a sharp, steep turn.
Beautiful view!
Indeed! best one so far :)
Now that was a beautiful spot. Thanks guys for the great video.
Great scenery. Gorgeous sunset.
Amazing view and how quiet it was out there. Safe travels!
+VanGo Adventures thank you! 😃
very nice thanks for sharing your experience
Just subscribed.
Boondocking in a class A coach.
Can't get any better.
Thank you for sharing your journeys
+Russ Pottenger Thanks for subscribing!
That is stunning. Enjoy.
+The Eternal Explorer Thank you! 😃
Spectacular. I hope you saved it in your gps. What a find!
+Dennis Goebelt you bet we did 😃
Wonderful peaceful video. Rewatched it because it showed when I was looking for Flagstaff vids to watch. Better the 2nd time. I may be moving there. Randy in MN
Gorgeous place to live, Randy! 😀
Great find in the middle of nature. Coyotes were a nice touch too.
+RV Granny Thanks, RV Granny! 😃💖
Oh wow I have to find that place! The views are amazing!
WOW, Beautiful! I was hoping there was a way never to stay in a RV Park ing Lot! That really moved me! Thanks so much!
+FreidasGarden Exactly! 😃 No more parking lots. Thanks for watching.
Truly Gods country. I love Arizona
What a view definitely worth it!
+Ancient Stone Yes it was! Great boondock 😃
I know, summer camping can be tough. Everyone wants to camp under the cool pines, but you can't turn around, roads can be bad, and your solar won't work. That looks good, nice and clear.
+2012escapee1 You have inspired us in our boondocking so much. Thanks for your channel, Escapee! Hope to meet you in our travels sometime ☺
You are sure doing better than that first video I saw, when you told your painful story. I have a painful story too and I'm figuring a life on the road will help me the way it has obviously helped you the last 2 years. I begin this autumn.
+Ricky Rox It does feel great, and we are doing better. You will too. Keep in touch, let us know your story! ☺
Perfect !!! is there cell reception ??
+RVerTV Hi! And yes! There is a clear line to a cell tower.

Wow, that is cool
wow! , great of you to repley , I do know that there are many little springs around up in the hills of flagstaff as long as you carry a good water filter with you it could save you a ton of money up there in Gods county in gas and in time , I bet you knew that ,lol glad to see you having so much fun
+blackbird marlin we didnt find any water where we were. What areas have springs?
that is one big areaLOL you might be able to spot some of the springs active buy looking at google over head mapping , look of course for green areas , such as really thick looking green grass , when I hike I find them from the high points , be safe and have much fun !
+blackbird marlin thanks! 😃
Gorgeous!!!! Were you allowed to stay 14 days there? How far was it from town?? love your videos.
Thank you! Yes we stayed 14 days, and it was only eight or so miles from town. Thanks for watching!
thanks so much for this RUclips rabbit hole. 'love watching your adventures. but, Christ! ever worry about bears??
Thank you! RUclips rabbit hole is a perfectly awesome term! :D Mike and I have both spent our lives in the mountains from childhood on up and neither of us has ever encountered a bear. It is actually a rare thing to see compered to the amount of times people go into the woods. Have you encountered a bear? We'd love to hear about it.
idk. 'maybe I watch too much Joe Rogan Podcast. Anyway, I love watching your guys' boondocking adventures. I can't wait to have my own someday.
Thank you so much for watching
We hope you get on the road soon as well
Because this is a blast
Where????
Hi Kellie, the exact coordinates are N 35° 23.011 W 111° 33.307 . Happy trails!
I love Flagstaff but I hate that stretch of I-40. It's so rough and full of potholes I can't imagine it in an rv. But if I had one, I'd do it😊
Pretty spot! Do you setup camp on the road?
+MrGoldseries Thank you for watching! We are actually off the road but it is flat to drive on in any case.

Hello Folks. Have followed you guys since the beginning. Could you tell us where the coolest temps. you've found in summer are. Thanx. Safe travels.
+Van Stiller Hi and thank you! Flagstaff was nice and cool last summer. It is beautiful up there.
I see that you have four solar panels on your rig. I was wondering what wattage they are and do they take care of your needs adequately? Thank you.
Hi! We'd like to include your question in an upcoming q and a video. 😀
In the woods, looking for a spot with no trees 🤔 . And usually, when you are having trouble breathing while riding in your RV, you've probably gone to high. Altitude sickness is no picnic , and can be very dangerous.
Awesome find! Would you mind posting the GPS coordinates to it?
+Gypsy Free Hey! 😃 For you, absolutely. North 35° 23.011 by West 111° 33.307
if you want an easy GPS coordinates for Google earth, use this
35.23011, -111.33307
MrMark85044 No, coordinates don't translate exactly like that. These coordinates put you out by
Winona. They are actually off of the road to Sunset Crater NM. Try these - 35.3835170°, 111.5551170°
No, we were not in New Mexico. We gave her the coordinates. We were outside Flagstaff Arizona.
Boondockabillies NM = National Monument. Sunset Crater National Monument is just NE of Flagstaff. I was saying that the coordinates the other guy gave were wrong. If you plug his into Google it doesn't show where you were. I was trying to help others look up the location in online format.
Did you actually stop and park on a road to boondock ?
+John Tardif Hi John, we will probably address that question in a video. Lots of folks wanted to know. Short answer, no it is a small loop off of a forest road, off of another main forest road, off if the main road.
Great Video! Thanks! No matter what I try I can't get the coordinates to work when I paste them into google maps or google earth. It takes me to China! LOL. Can you repost the gps coordinates please?
+Mark Swarbrick lol! That is a long way to travel. Thank you so much. The coordinates are: N 35° 23.011 W 111° 33.307.
nice! any water near by? other than what you caring ?
+blackbird marlin Not that we know of. We came into town to refill 😃 Thanks for watching!
That has to be the most scenic boon docking spot I've ever seen. How far off the road were you? Is there a rule that you have to be off the road a certain distance while boon docking on BLM land?
+Mike Johnson Hi Mike! I think we are in State owned forest. We are several miles off the nain road. We just went until we found a good spot. Thanks for watching!
+Mike Johnson Hi Mike! I think we are in State owned forest. We are several miles off the nain road. We just went until we found a good spot. Thanks for watching!
did you guys take your toyota back there first before you drove your class A down that road? there is a another channel where the lady does recon on boon docking spots with her car first and then she drives back to get her rig.
+Mike Johnson We just hiked it this time 😊
Did you stay right there or did you pull off the road? How about turning around?
Hi Barney, this was actually a small loop off the road, so we were essentially off the road if you know what I mean lol. The surrounding ground was flat and drivable. We didn't want to risk getting the heavy RV stuck as it had rained and softened the ground a lot, so we unloaded the dolly and backed up to a wide spot and turned back to the main forest road.
Hey guys I saw your video on how you came to live in Rv full time. I'm 49 yrs old and have degenerative disc disease like Mike and can only walk with a cane or am tall so I use a walking stick. Anyway y'all talked about doing a video on changing your diet and if wAs helping Mike out with his health problems. I have looked and cant find it , have you made that video and if so can you tell me the title so I can watch? Also if you haven't would you please make it?. I got lucky with my disability i paid off the disability insurance through t he company I worked for so they are paying me a portion of income. I'm still waiting on SSID to rule on my case. Anyway love your videos you guyed are awesome!
+oldman baller50 Hi! I have not made a video about Mike's health yet. Sorry! I meant to. Perhaps this winter.
Not sure but it looks like you consider it proper to camp in the roadway making it hard for anyone else to get in?
+Jim Hanks A couple of other people assumed we were being buttheads but I told them what I'll tell you. 1. This was a loop off of a loop off of another loop off the main road, which was off the highway, so thete is nowhete to "get in" 2. The Forest Service Ranger was the only other person or vehicle anywhere near us, 3. Who then told us it was fine, especially since 4. The ground was too soft for our coach to take offroad right there and we eventually had to unhook the toad and dolly, back up down the road and slowly turn around to rehook everything and go. Some people are too eager to criticize. I am so glad you asked me instead of making rude assumptions.
Where (outside of Flagstaff) are you, just in case someone would like to visit the spot?
The coordinates are here in comments :) Thanks for watching!
I trust my cat outdoors until it starts getting dark and then I make him come in. Damn coyotes almost got him once.
Do you guys make your own tortillas?
HI! Yes, I do! It is super easy. Flour, water, pinch of salt, knead, roll out, fry, enjoy! Thanks for commenting and watching :)
aren't you guys afraid being out there by yourselves?
+Joe Brock Not at all, Joe. I am from some remote mountains in Oregon and have spent much time in the wild. Mike has spent much time alone in the wilderness as well. We have solid survival and self defense skills. This feels like living again 😃 Thanks for watching!
