Any places to boondock in Texas? Or private Rv parks? They still haven't opened the parks here in Texas for overnights. I am desperate to get out. I'm not ready for the beach just yet.
As soon as this is all lifted, IM OUTTA HERE!
After Tony's books (which I'll also highly recommend), a classic from the "back to nature movement" of the 1970's is Dick Proenneke's "One Man's Wilderness" (about midway down the web page):
http://www.dickproenneke.com/The videos are also very good. "Alone in the Wilderness" was shown on many PBS stations in the early 2000's (and, incidentally, inspired me to get out of Los Angeles and back to a more rural area). The book and that video are the story of Dick Proenneke, who retired in his early 50's, went to a rural part of Alaska (now Lake Clark NP), built a cabin, and spent a Winter there.
If you really get into it, some of Proenneke's journals have been re-edited with more detail, and can be found on-line as well. But "One Man's Wilderness" is more readable.
