-===== site selection =====
+===== relocation =====
+The relo will involve timing, route planning, provisioning, and site selection.
+==== timing ====
+Although there are firm limits on maximum stay, it may be advantageous to leave early
+  * tailwinds are favorable on a given day
+  * poor solar forecast on a given day could be counterbalanced with alternator charging if we were driving
+  * gas prices are traditionally lowest on Mondays
+==== reprovisioning ====
+A checklist on the phone can help the boondocker remember what needs to be picked up in town.   Add it to the list the moment you think about it.  I maintain separate lists for grocery runs, thrift stores, and hardware stores.
+==== site selection ====
 Areas where different public lands abut are especially useful;  you can easily jump between jurisdictions to meet time limit restrictions.  BLM -> NF, etc.  If there is a town nearby you can pad in a few [[camping:stealth_camping|stealth camping]] days if the time limits are coming up a bit short.
