Thanks for the votes. Probably wasn't really that "cold".
How about "stealth camp spots" found at random. If you had to pay to pitch a tent, it doesn't count.

just kidding.
This was my first time motorcycle camping, and the furthest from home I’d ever been on a bike. The spot Eli69 had picked had no electricity and no running water except the nearby creek. And it was perfect.

Must have been camping pretty close to home, 30+ yrs. ago folks didn't normally venture too far from home on a Sportster.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

In autumn of 1976, two riders came up to SUNY Brockport (between Rochester and Buffalo) from New York City for a weekend visit (385 miles) on new motorcycles. One was a GoldWing, the other was a Sporty. The Sporty was GORGEOUS! Custom "graveyard" paintjob, peanut tank, chrome staggered shorty dual exhaust, chrome rounded rectangle air cleaner, beautiful seat, short sissy bar.
I watched them warm up for the ride home. Sportster started right up with the choke (and was vibrating slightly more than the GoldWing). As they rode off, I knew that the ride would be more comfy on the Honda. Still, I would have taken the Sportster hands down.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

"vibrating slightly more than the GoldWing", Did you figure out what was wrong with the Sportster??? It should have been vibrating waaaay more if it was running like it was supposed to.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw.

I believe this would fall under the heading of minimalist camping.
Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.
Nature bats last.
