For those who are unfamiliar with the term, boondocking (or dry camping) is the art of camping wihtout benefit of hookups. You furnish our own power and water, and take care of your own waste. Science has certainly made this more confortable. We have solar panels to turn sunlight into current, controllers to feed that current into batteries, and then inverters to convert that battery power into 120 AC. We have laptop computers that are small enough to pack anywhere yet powerful enough to do most things I want to do. Best of all, DISH network cranks out satellite channels that I can receive on a tiny dish and thus keeps me in touch with the world outside. Technology, for all of its warts, is pretty good.
