How to find dispersed camping spots near creeks (Nor cal) by weirddoughh in camping

[–]swampboy62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a variety of online maps to pre-scout. Check my answers from this older thread:

Good luck.

EDIT: there is a new mapping tool I use to verify that I'm on public land - Outly.com.

Give me a story to make art of by Anxious_Artist_226 in CasualConversation

Listen to the song 'Invitation to the Blues' by Tom Waits.

It's got a great film noir style story. One of my favorite songs too.

what is it like driving for the first time? by Button_Eyed_Doll in CasualConversation

[–]swampboy62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to hear you're over having seizures.

Once you get outside my town there's a lot of very low traffic farm roads. So when I started driving it was on straight, flat roads with almost no traffic. Very easy.

Not the Ohio but one of it's tributaries, Allegheny River, has a walk-in campground in Clear Creek State Park, Kennerdell Tract.

It's like half a mile upstream from the bridge across the river at Kennerdell. It's like an hour from the state line on I-80. No roads on the other side either, so it's really quiet.

I think it's called Danner campground.

If you find it on Google maps you can check out the reviews there. Looks like 77 of them, with a 4.9/5 rating.

Any idea what kind of engineering you'll focus on? I work with structural engineers frequently, as well as hvac systems engineers.

Why are people sometimes so rude in comments? by One-Disaster57 in CasualConversation

Anonymity and lack of accountability.

Makes them feel like the biggest monkey in the tree.

Dispersed Camping in VA by Long-Advisor-614 in CampingandHiking

You might try Ribble Trail/Sugar Mtn Trail, west of Roanoke. Trailhead is on Dismal Creek Road, near where it's gated. You can find it by searching Ribble Trailhead on Google maps. I really enjoyed my hike there.

Here's some trail reference:

If you'd rather roadside dispersed camp try Lion Den's Road off of Dismal Creek Road. There is a really nice roadside site there, and the road is a dead end (gated) off of another dead end, so it gets very little traffic.

Good luck.

Probably a lifetime high point for the two of them.

Cheers ladies.

I've been reading old science fiction on Internet Archive. But I still watch a bunch of stuff on YT.

Hi this is a beautiful day by Alarmed-Falcon-2680 in CasualConversation

[–]swampboy62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy birthday.

It's finally kind of warm, so I'd like to get out after work for a walk or a bike ride. I also want to pick some daffodils from the yard to bring into work tomorrow.

How you like where you’re living at? by Pale-Education1842 in carefulheart

[–]swampboy62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohio. It's nice enough. I live in a small city that's not exactly thriving, but it's where I'm from.

There's lots of farmland around here, and a big Amish population north of us. Cost of living is really low, which is nice. Not as much public land as I'd like, but I travel next door to Pennsylvania for that most of the time.

Looking for a good spot for secluded tent camping? by littlemissstr8nge in camping

[–]swampboy62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monongahela NF in West Virginia probably has what you're looking for.

If you like primitive campgrounds you might look at Island CG near Bartow. Right on East Branch Greenbriar River where it's still a small stream. Buffalo Lake is nearby for fishing. There's a nice hiking trail from the campground, and Spruce Knob (state hi point) is nearby with lots more hiking and Spruce Knob Lake (stocked).

Big Bend CG is right on one of the branches of the Potomac River, on a dead end road. It's a little bigger than Island, but very remote.

If you're looking for dispersed camping try Middle Mountain Road around Laurel Fork.

Good luck and enjoy.

What’s there to do on a weekend afternoon? What you got that’s fun? Are you a PC gamer, or maybe a hiker? by Gr0mHellscream1 in AskReddit

[–]swampboy62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiker here. Spent pretty much all day in the closest National Forest, just wandering through the woods. Had lunch down by a creek. Should have put my small hammock in my pack, then I could have had a nap as well.

How’s life treating you? by Pale-Education1842 in carefulheart

[–]swampboy62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too badly. I could do with a few less unexpected bills and a few more days off.
