101 Slab city for a night or two?

[Django]

So as part of my North-South America bike tour, I'm gonna hit the slabs. Mostly excited about salvation mountain, but I'd like to stay a night or two there.

I have a tent, so that's taken care of,
But I thought it'd be nice if I'd have a connection, someone to say "heyyy" to,
Instead of just popping there.

visit the library and you will get the lay of the land and local community. you can probably hit up @Cornelius Vango and they will show you plenty of places you can camp.

Oh that's the dude that operates the library! I saw a video of him.
Thanks.


Obviously, I remembered not correctly. It's a she!

Also check out Rabbit side if youre doing a bike tour. You can find them on warmshowers... and get a safe spot to throw up a tent.

I thought I could just ride my bike in and pitch a tent anywhere? I guess I'll have to research the library then!

I sent them a message on WS,
No reply, and i don't want to just show up to their camp, it might be viewed as a rude thing (which I understand..).

Crazy hobo,
I think you can do whatever you want, this post is just me trying to reach out to someone before I go there, but if I don't get any response, I'll go anyway. It's only 180 miles from where I am, which is approx 3 days ride for me

Crazy Hobo, you can throw up a tent anywhere, but its always a good idea to create safety in numbers. A few of the camps there have been long tine established and have less issues with thievery. The library being one of them, and a few others.

you can, it's just helpful to get plugged into the community by visiting the library if that's something you want to do.

just out of curiosity, is 'rabbit side' a person or a place?

Three different people, their camp is called the rabbit side (according to their page on WS).

It's a place, the folks who had the farmers market at the beginning of the winter.
