Finding a place to pitch camp in the great south west, or the desert in general, can pose a problem if you would rather not be seen by passers by...Heres the solution for you and you ride over them every day without even giving them a thought...Box culverts! They are out of the way, secure and have plenty of shade...Box culverts are very common all over the country but not recommended in this capacity except in the desert setting...The next time you are looking for camp, look for a box culvert...Many are just tall enough to slip your bike into, while others are tall enough to stand in...So, relax, have a hearty meal and a good nights sleep, you're covered...
The wing-nut at large!
