By Bob Difley
Having never been a celebrant of New Year’s Eve, when that date rolled around I tried to find a boondocking spot as far away from the insanity as possible.
I found that even one lone neighbor within a hundred yards or so could still disrupt the solitude of my campsite, so I sought to get completely away from others. It’s the curmudgeon in me.
I figured it was successful if nothing–except maybe a coyote’s howl–woke me at the stroke of midnight.
If you are also seeking solitude from New Year’s Eve celebrations, I hope you have found that little-used dirt road that winds through a hidden canyon and accesses the perfect–and quiet–spot to celebrate the beginning of a new year, hopefully an improvement over 2011.
Have a Happy New Year and a prosperous 2012.

Nice read. I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. He just bought me lunch as I found it for him! Thus let me rephrase: Thanx for lunch!

I do consider all of the concepts you have presented for your post. They are very convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are very brief for newbies.

Yup! got permission from the landowner, promised to close all gates and sat beside a small river, under a tree 1/2 mile from anyone, visited by his lovely horses. Nice.

Bob,
Happy New Year to you.
If you want peace and quiet, you need to come to Sun City with us!
What NY parties there are, they celebrate New York time and are home by 9:15!
Take care,
Ron

Can sympathize with you in a way. Against my better judgement went to a party with my woman and her sister. Wasn’t in the mood for a lot of boozing, I’m not good at shooting pool, and SURPRISE! didn’t have QUARTERS to shoot craps. Everyone was in cliches (hate that) and I sat with my woman or watched the big screen. Although I’m an old fogie, something like a RAVE would be more of my idea of celebrating NYE. Or by a campfire with a couple friends, what friends? Looking at the Stars that I never see. Will be working on doing some camping in my old motorhome. So if the world doesn’t end in Dec.2012 and the government doesn’t spend all our social security, have a Happy and Prosperous New Year EVERYONE! And I hope there’s enough time to complete your Bucket List.
Rock
Happy 2012 to you also Bob! Although I do enjoy the articles, and you are an
accomplished wordsmith, I do have to take issue with you on New Years Eve.
You can easily boondock 364 days a year and avoid the clammer of the civilized world,
but it’s only New Years Eve 1 night a year and I hardly think that a couple of hours of
noisy celebration is going to ruin an entire year for you. Why not join in the celebration
with some friendly neighbors and ring in the coming year with a little camaraderie
and lively conversation about the past year and thoughts and wishes for 2012.
hoppe
Happy New Year Bob.
I didn’t get ‘up the hill’ this year again. Went to sleep my normal time. Neighbor woke me up with a flurry of explosions. I expect a whole package of firecrackers. Oh well, went back to sleep a few minutes later.
Intermittent cracks for an hour or so, some sounded like gunfire. Hope nobody was injured, I didn’t return fire anyway. Couldn’t tell where they were at without going out in the cold, and that was an, OR NOT.
See you on the road.
Caravan
Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
on Old long syne.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Good evening Bob. Heres wishing you all the solitude you want for tonight and a Happy, Prosperous and Joyous New Year.
You friend, Mike Wader otherwise known as catchesthewind.
Art Steebs
I like the curmudgeon in you! I also enjoy your blog. I find your joy in solitude admirable. I hope you and yours have a fine New Year.

Howdy CUR,
THIS IS THE MUDGEON on line!!! If you’d come to the RSR, we’re more than a mile from the closest neighbor and they’re older than we are!!!! Itz not the coyotes that wake us, itz our blasted dog answering them!!! He starts as soon as he hears the first one and ‘sings’ with them until they quit!!!
HOPE ALL’S WELL WITH Y’ALL AND YOU HAVE A HAPPY AND QUIET NEW YEAR!!
(try YouTubeMusic/David Hartley)
Ralphie Boyo
And a Happy, quiet and peaceful New Year to you, Bob. Thanks for all of your hard work at the keyboard.
