    Regarding the dye pots, its a near desert there. I think they just put plastic over them during the rare rainfall. Every Moroccan we talked with were adamant that all of Western Sahara is apart of Morocco. The 20% that is east of the sand ditch that delineates the boundary is pretty much...

    Well thank you very much! You're why we're posting. I also traveled Western Europe but in the 80's. And it is as you said, a lot of the same, with quite a bit of change.

    Our Round-the-World adventure

    Central & Southwestern Spain In Madrid we found our favorite city solution, a campground at the end of a subway line. We used Camping Osuna as a base for a few days, making day trips into the city. Our favorite feature of European campgrounds is, hands down, the ability to order daily fresh...

    The little country of Andorra Central square of Andorra La Vella, Andorra’s capital Wild camping was simple throughout the region, with a multitude of remote spots available. We felt that we had definitely found a theme though. Our best Park4Night spots often seemed to be up corkscrew winding...

    Austria Austria contrasted impressive mountain vistas with stately historic cities. The scenery was beautiful but the culture more restrictive than we had been used to with prohibitive wild camping rules and relatively expensive food and gas. We purchased the required toll pass sticker as soon...

    Slovenia We only spent four days driving through Slovenia and didn’t do it justice. We also had to get to Zurich to fly back to the US for a family wedding (we booked the flight six months ago, just picked a big city where we thought we could find secure parking for the truck). Slovenia had...
