Following some time in Senator Wash LTVA and Q, we moved into Black Canyon City, north of Phoenix, for a little knee slicing. We hope to return to the road by early or mid-April.
We figure to head north to Flagstaff, then we dunno. Final destination for this purpose is Olympia, WA.
We like boondocking or utility camping in public or private parks, with the emphasis on nature and small towns. Not cities, tho we could go to cities for worthwhile attractions. We prefer to stay a week or so, drive 150 miles between. We travel in a 35' (exterior length) 5ver.
Anybody have some suggestions on stops between here and there?
Thanks much.

If you like boondocking and small places, do you also like the red roads instead to the interstates? If so you could go up Hwy 93 or Hwy 95 to Las Vegas and even north from there to gold country and see some of the historical places there.
Another choice would be going to Hwy 395 along the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains. There are a lot of campgrounds along there that are very interesting and lots of beautiful sites. You could go through Death Valley from Las Vega and to 395, but I wouldn't stay long in Death Valley that time of year, too hot. In Oregon, you really should take the I-84 route west through the Columbia River Gorge and then along Hwy 101 to north Washington or take a side trip over the Cascades National park hightway. There's also Leavenworth, in Washington that's a fun place to see Oregon has some good state parks. One of our favorites is on the Snake River called "Farewell Bend State Park. This is all mixed up but these are places just coming off the top of my head that we have enjoyed visiting. You can PM me if you want more specifics.
Have a good trip and drive safe. Jeannie aka borntotravel.

Thanks Jeannie. Last Nov, we drove down from WA, where we have a RV lot in the Cascades (Concrete). We considered Hwy 395, but people discouraged us, referring to several passes in OR that snow can cover quickly.
