Totally agree, however I have seen a decline in activity. It's rare to see a Rally Point in my area. I do get out about once a month on average, and I have seen fewer folks on trails and more gear for sale. The flip is great spots like this are not crowded any longer.
if there is a decline in rally points you might think about creating one

Is that over near Holcomb ranch? If so I was just there a few weeks ago. Three years ago, if you didn't get there early friday you couldn't get a good spot.
I wonder if this means I can go back to calling it off-road camping again?

I agree. However, my original one, going on 5+ years now, has dropped to all but non-existent. I've been the only one showing up for the last several months. So, it's not like there isn't something available. The folks just don't attend anymore.
