The same is happening all around the West as Expedition-vehicle owners are overrunning the backcountry, bloggers are now revealing many of the sensitive"secrets" spots, providing GPS tracks to them.

Thank you for posting a link to that article which contained an interesting YouTube video.   I really enjoy listening to full-timers discussing their life styles.  The prospect of full-timing continues to intrigue me ... not so for Margee.   So those articles & videos are a nice dose of day dreaming for me.
