100 nights!

I understand that the word "hookups" can have more than one meaning. 😵‍💫

The badge/patch/sticker idea is great

OK - 

A VERY quick Google of stickers looks like it would cost about $0.90 to $1.00 each for an order of 100 stickers plus (of course) mailing fees for the USPS,  and envelopes for mailing.  So, all in you are talking about $2.00 for each sticker.

Would 100 of us be willing to fork out  a couple of bucks to show that we have spent 100 nights boondocking in our Ollie?

I live way too close to "The Villages" to mess with anything pineapple.

But, if someone is going to do all that work, I will buy one for sure. 

Even though we won't be displaying the boondocking one till at least next year.....

Great idea. I have to chuckle a bit. We went hard and heavy back in our truck camper days with probably 150-200 boondocking nights, many with remote places off shelf roads. Living in the Midwest doesn't afford a lot of boondocking opportunities.

 

Goals have changed. While I still love those opportunities, I don't know how often it will happen

 Our upcoming PNW trip will have maybe 10 boondocking nights. I need to go back to day one and see where we are for nights.

In some cases, particularly within certain RV or festival camping circles, a pineapple—especially if displayed upside down—can have a more specific meaning, indicating that the campers are part of the "swinger" or open-relationship lifestyle, subtly inviting like-minded others to connect.

I would suggest a different design for a 100-night, 500-night, and 1,000-night patch.  Who are the graphic artists out there?  HA!

The patch idea is cool! Are those consecutive nights? We had 119 consecutive in 2024. Had a few long trips after that. We might break our record this year if we don’t stop over at home. 😎

We’re here.  

It was a moderator that started this by suggesting “hook ups” have meanings outside of the RV world.  The graphic piled on a little.  Mildly humorous, not something most of us would put on the outside of our trailer, but humorous in an eye-rolling kind of way.  In fact, those of us who boondock quite a bit couldn’t use that graphic because we’re more interested in “no hook ups”.   Mike 😎

I like it, Art. Might I suggest the coveted patch series for Ollie owners would be the “Boondock Centurian”  patch celebrating 100, 200, 500 nights spent without hookups?

Love it! Boondocking on the Badlands Wall BLM as I write. Per Mike’s comment, I added a column to our “Oliver Travels” spreadsheet!

So I’ll need the 100 camping badge and the 50 “no hook-ups” badge, now 104 nights and 56 of them dry-camping. That’s about 54% but if I continue camping more in the west, we will get that number higher! 🤣

JD,

Are you at Buffalo National Grasslands just north of the Badlands NP?  Next to the cliff?

Yes, we are! Was that you exiting Badlands NP Wednesday morning? I wrote a mention about it in “I saw an Ollie.”

We’ll be here ‘til late morning. Tomorrow night Horsethief Lake to visit Mt Rushmore. Love to see and Wendy!

From our 3/10/2022 pick up through 2024, we have 275 nights in Jolli Olli

Someone with some talent could Ollie this up

We really enjoy our time there!  No, we are in Devil's Canyon National Forest, Utah.  We have to place our spot in the "top 5" for our past 5 years of full-timing.  A little hot during the day but you can't beat the night time temps :)  

Have fun out there and stay cool
