Our Wildlife in Cooke City Montana
Two years living in the Montana Mountains in a small town called Cooke City. It's 4 miles from the NE Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. This is just a short bit of what we experienced and how we came to live off gridish in a tiny little town (with no cell service)
We are Scot & Ariane and our Nomadic Idea is to travel the country in our vintage 1976 Airstream Argosy. Our idea is to live a minimal life and, explore the freedom of RV life. We would love if you joined and came along with us.

    Septic first in apache county. Welcome to the county, be aware the county is currently cracking down hard on people moving into property in RVs without septic, we have s verla ranches in the area, do septic right and the county will go for just about anything. If your off an n road, get a tractor and get to know someone locally that does, roads go bad fast.

    All prices are going up. Q is being bought by corporations. Locals are being kicked out, or forced out to make room for visitors. When visitors show up locals can not use there cells. Can not get into drs. Can not get prescriptions filled easily. Can not get food. Can not get on bus for out of town dr. because it becomes Walmart express. Scadden wash is dangerous.

    Leave me out. I don't drink don't smoke. Don't have ATV. No motorcycle. Have food for 5 month. I will get the free water though and fuel at the pilot before heading to Yuma after RTR. I will need to find parking some where in Yuma area to camp. I figure i would check out Algadones, MX go in get a xray to see how they can do about my teeth. Than get an appoinmet to come back later in the year to start work on my teeth. I have minivan camper.find out about what i can do to make it more livable. Stick around the area until it get to hot for me and head up to grand canyon for 14 days than head to leadsville Co. Go hicking. At least that the plan for now. Its probably not going to be easy to meet Bob Wells since is going to be swamp already. I am really looking forward to this trip. It will be my first trip outside of Texas since 2008. I hope to make a few new friens. I am ciming excited and a positive attitued. Maybe we will cross paths? Who knows. See you down the road.

    Being a weekend warrior RV'r myself I never understood the witch hunt for cheap restaurants . Most of us like myself have "Kitchens" in our rig that includes refrigerators. I always opt to cook my own meals in my RV over dining out. Most my meals are high quality foods at under 8 dollars a serving sometimes only 4 dollars, such as hotdogs and hamburgers. And when the fish are biting the cost is ZERO !!

If the campsites are all full in all three campgrounds and you have a 4X4 and are self contained, you can head across the river up from the Tullula campground and take Charlie's Creek Road and boondock up that road. There is a sign at the crossing that says something like "don't park in the river".

      I am from Illinois and camp a lot, it does INDEED have forest camping, there are many primitive sites that are free in the Shawnee National Forest which is further down in Illinois like stated in the video. Starved rock is the most populated state park because its close to the city. My favorite Forest primitive campsite is by Jackson Falls which is 1st come 1st serve basis in the Shawnee Forest. I suggest traveling to OTHER parts of Shawnee National Forest, its pretty big, go by Jackson Falls and Burden Falls which is the states highest waterfall. Most campgrounds are primitive and 1st come , 1 served basis and costs only about 5 or 8 bucks a night but you can find free sites. There is Garden of Gods, Dixon Springs etc so much free camping.

      To be honest and straight forward. There really no real clientele. You have every single type of RVer, Nomad, and Vanlifer who comes to Q. There are FB Quartzsite Groups that have events based on different groups and similar interest. If you’re alone, I totally get how it can be overwhelming and intimidating. If you feel uncomfortable in a spot simply move to another. Q is a big place. Best advice is to find groups (meetup.com) or FB and introduce yourself. You will find your people. -:)
