One of the greatest glories of the West is the vast amount of public lands. BLM and National Forest are open to boondock unless it's posted. The boundaries are almost always well marked.

Boondocking is camping in an undeveloped area. That is, no facilities of any type. In a National Forest, it's called "dispersed camping". Boondocking done right requires a toilet and sufficient water for the time you plan to be there.

Throttle body injection. That was the original version of fuel injection. This guy may be the owner of the Polar Bear you're thinking of. http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/56355-Larry-s-1978-K10
