Am I perfectly happy wasting time on the computer?
The wind kept me inside most of yesterday and will again today. But I don't mind; I'm perfectly happy wasting time on the computer.
I tried to get a campground reservation at Rock Hound State Park in New Mexico, but they had nothing available when I was going to leave Tombstone. Rockhound State Park has been difficult to get into, and has been that way for quite some time. But they used to have a large overflow area available if you wanted to wait around for a regular campsite to open up. But, some legal problems did away with the overflow sites, and since Rock Hound did away with all of their first-come, first-served campsites, thanks to the bat flu panic and Reserve America, it takes a lot of luck and long-term reservations to stay there anymore. But it's okay, by November 2025, I'll no longer be going to New Mexico State Parks anyway.
The City of Rocks State Park in New Mexico is about the same distance from Tombstone as Rock Hound State Park, so I decided to go there instead. City of Rocks has nine or ten first-come, first-served boondocking sites, including three of those sites with electricity and water, and I've always been able to find a spot to boondock whenever I've shown up, so that's where I'll be heading when I leave Tombstone.

This mercifully brief video shows the Lance camper boondocking a couple of blocks from Tombstone's main Street, Allen Street. It’s only a block from the old Tombstone courthouse, which has been a museum instead of a courthouse ever since Cochise County moved the county seat to Bisbee.
