Announcing another Mid-Missouri Spring Boondock, April 12-14, 2019! This has been a popular fall Boondocking event so I have arranged for a special group permit from the Missouri Department of Conservation to camp adjacent to the 48 acre Rudolph Bennitt Lake in Rudolph Bennitt State Recreation Area. RBSRA is located 18 miles north of Columbia, MO. Take US Hwy 63 north to Hwy B, then 4.3 miles west on Route B to Hwy T. 1.4 miles south on Route T, then 1.7 miles west on County Rd. D229 (turn right at the cemetery). Follow the signs and turns to Rudolph Bennitt Lake and finally a left on CR 250 takes you down to the lake. There are 3 established camping pads that are first come-first served, so snag one of those first to assure a cohesive Airstream group. Our permit allows for Airstream off-pad camping along the road and we usually have the lake to ourselves.

Canoes, kayaks, and boats with electric motors are encouraged as the lake is beautiful this time of year, and the fishing (MO fishing permit required) has the potential to be entertaining. We will have a non-stop campfire with Dutch Oven sharing throughout the weekend and the official potluck on Saturday evening . There is a pit toilet on site but otherwise, be prepared to camp off the grid.

This is just an informal get together and we're not going to do "Official" hosting this round, but hope to see some fellow boondock enthusiasts around the fire ring.
