I was planning on boondocking at a BLM campground, but don't know the status.... web searching isn't turning up much, except for the BLM "contingency plans" if the shut down happens... I may wander on over, and see, but, notice how they shut down all the stuff important to us, but none of the stuff important to Them?

Thanks Mike. I wonder if they have put chains across the road to keep us out? If not, perhaps it's game. I was hoping for some relief from paying for campsites, and something other than casinos and Walmart. I noticed a LOT of chemtrail planes flying the weekend of the shut down, they sure haven't cut funding for that!

I am studying my maps now, looking for options. No Nevada state parks along my route, which I want to stick to, due to the lack of steep grades. It's gonna have to be casinos and Walmarts, and private campgrounds.

I edited one post and deleted some others because they could lead this thread down a "political" trail, and that is not permitted.
While I totally agree with what I deleted, it was necessary to do.

Jane - what route are you looking at? Maybe some others can provide some alternate suggestions. Did you check out freecampsites.net? We are at a county park this week with FHU's for less than what most commercial campgrounds in California charge, and it's really, really quiet here, only 4 sites occupied.

Hey guys, I am at the original destination, Walker Lake, BLM, and I am not the only RV here. And people are boating on the lake, and doing photography, driving around, like business as usual. It's very quiet, not too many here, just a few. It's usually $4-6 a day, but I am not sure if anyone is here to collect it, due to the "shut down"? It's nice, a big lake in the middle of the desert, ramadas, picnic tables and fire pits, but no hook ups. Outhouse type toilets, no showers. Some "non-potable" water. Getting Verizon 4G strong, no Sprint at all. Not sure how long I will stay, maybe til the weekend, when the rest of society gets off work.

Yes, that's it. It is administered by BLM, and the payment envelopes are printed with U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. There are 2 big, fancy Class A's, a 5th wheel, a travel trailer, and people on boats. We'll see if anyone official come around. I'm not sure how long I will stay, maybe through the weekend? Got enough water I think.
Closed except emergency services.......
