Unofficial boondocking

Here are three sites I found that will not be listed under Free Campgrounds. One is the Benjamin Tire & Brake store in Larkfield (Santa Rosa), CA on Airport Blvd. The shop is closed by 5:30 and no one cares if you park your RV on the property off the road. They were working on my RV so I spent the night there. Also, there is free WiFi if you want to "war" drive quickly to download email. I wouldn't abuse the privilege.

McDonald's in Healdsburg right off 101 on Healdsburg Blvd. not only has air conditioning (it was over 100 degrees there at 4 p.m.), it is across the street from a closed gas station. There was a semi parked there for the evening but there was room for at least one or two more trucks or RVs.

The Denny's in Fortuna, CA has a large parking lot. It was because of an accident that I stopped there instead of farther north in Eureka as I planned. The Eureka Denny's is right on 101 in town and has a small parking lot. I asked permission and parked at the end of the lot near a tree. There are a couple of chain motels next door. The only noise was the 5:30 a.m. trash pickup. But I'm not complaining: a free, safe site is always welcome.
