My name is C. Patrick (Pat) Waters and I live in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada when not on the road Boondocking.  I retired in 1993 and immediately invested in a new motor home in which to live and travel.  Since then, I have traveled over a great deal of the United States and Canada, usually boondocking in the Arizona and California areas for the warmer winter months.

Owning a large self contained motor home meant that the serviced space offered by commercial operators was usually too small, difficult to maneuver in and only required on special occasions in the first place.  Because my motor home already contained most luxuries offered at these commercial sites, during the first couple of years much of my time was spent looking for inexpensive open space to settle down for a few days.  Advice received from fellow boondockers and various governing authorities was most helpful while investigating many of the sites mentioned on this web site.

I am now a bit more boondock smart and want to pass on my information to you. I would also enjoy adding your traveling experiences to this site for the use of boondockers that may be new to this way of life.

My brother, Adrian, who is the Boondocking Guide's web site administrator and contact, lives in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada. (The cat has no meaning - it is just cute.)
