Wife and I will be going to look at a teardrop trailer this weekend. She has said that with such a trailer she'd be much more enthusiastic about going camping.
So there's a chance that by this time next week I could be a trailer owner! :wings:
(Uh, make that a "two-trailer owner" since I already have a small utility trailer. )
My question, though, is this: For those of you that go to places like the San Juan mountains (CO), Moab, etc, where lots of trails are not advisable with a trailer, do you have a favorite place to "stash" a trailer while you explore, then come back and pick it up? I realize I could just get a KOA campsite and leave the trailer there and it will probably be relatively secure (and for ~$25/night that may be the best bet) but I'm wondering whether any of you have just parked your trailers at the trailhead and then come back for them, or found a business that would be willing to let you park a trailer there for a few hours.
How many of you would leave a trailer at a National Forest Service or National Park Service campsite? That would seem to me to be fairly secure...
My plan is that most of the time I'll be doing fairly easy "through-and-through" trails where I can pull the trailer without difficulty (basically dirt roads) but there are trails I'd like to do that are pretty much 'day trips' where I could go and run the trail and then come back to an established campsite.
