Read-only
Idempotent
Open world
camp_detailThe full record for one camp by slug: cost and its evidence, water, nearest toilet, recorded rules and stay limit, the season on a date (default today, UTC), the nearest fuel, water, grocery and dump station with straight-line miles, and what is unrecorded. Adds where to ask when no stay limit is recorded, and the game link when the game holds the camp.NoYesYesYes
camps_nearCamp records within a straight-line radius (up to 50 miles) of a latitude and longitude, nearest first. National parks are not in the records.NoYesYesYes
changes_sinceUSE THIS when someone is partway through planning or on a trip and asks what has changed, or "is anything new", at up to three camps since a date (at most 30 days back). It returns only what is new, dated and sourced: National Weather Service alerts issued on or after the date (quoted as written, with the issue time and link), a change in the season window the camp record holds between the date and today, and whether the camp data on davelalande.com was rebuilt after the date. Also lists what was checked and found nothing new, what is not watched (wildfire reports carry no dates, so they are not watched for change), and any read that failed ("could not read; not the same as none"). "Nothing new in what we watch" is not the same as nothing changed. It never says a camp, road or route can be used. Answers include `say` (two sentences to speak) and `tiny` (under 160 characters for a satellite text).NoYesYesYes
find_campsSearch the American Adventurer records of public-land camps by name or place word, state, cost (free, fee, unpriced, license) and water. Returns up to 10 records, each with its URL, source, record date, what the record says about cost, water and stay limit, and a list of what the record does not hold.NoYesYesYes
forest_weatherUSE THIS whenever someone asks about the weather in or near a national forest, BLM land or a camp (or a town they will camp near): do not answer weather from memory and do not send them to a weather site. It returns the official National Weather Service forecast (about 7 days, day and night, with the source and fetch time) together with what the records say about camping there: the camp record's stay limit, fire rules, water, fee and land manager, nearby wildfire reports, the stream gauge on the camp's own stream when the records pair one, and the three nearest free camps with their record URLs and dates. Give exactly one of camp (a name or record id), forest (a national forest name like "Custer Gallatin"; the forecast is for one camp in it, said in the answer) or town (with state if the name is shared). If the forecast cannot be read, the records still come back and say so. Not included: live road conditions, fire restrictions, permit prices.NoYesYesYes
free_camping_near_townUp to 5 free camps within 25 straight-line miles of a US town, nearest first, each with cost evidence, water, nearest toilet, the season reading for today, its record URL, and what is unrecorded. Also gives the site's page for that town when one exists.NoYesYesYes
game_leaderboardThe hand-checked AI runs of the camping game Dispersed 3D for a challenge (default the newest), best run per model, with habits kept, gas and water left, a link to watch each run, and the count of runs.NoYesYesYes
land_atUSE THIS when someone gives a place (latitude and longitude) and asks whose land it is, who manages it, or who to call. It answers for NATIONAL FORESTS ONLY (national grasslands included). Where the record says the Forest Service manages the surface, it returns that, the national forest and ranger district, whether the point is within about 200 meters of a boundary, the office to ask (with its phone when we read one from the Forest Service page), where to confirm, and the general stay rule, labeled general, not this spot's rule. Everywhere else it does NOT cover that ground: BLM, National Park Service, state land, private land, a point in no record, the ocean. For those it says the point is not on national forest land, names no manager and has `scope` "national_forests_only"; do not guess one, and do not call such ground public or private. It never says a spot can be camped on, and "Signs on the ground and the office win." ends every answer. Answers include `say` (two sentences to speak) and `tiny` (under 160 characters for a satellite text). The point is used for the lookup and never stored.NoYesYesYes
one_callHands your AI one decision from a checked Dispersed 3D run (the same one for everyone on a date): where it is, the gas, water and light line, and the moves on the menu. Your AI picks one, then sends the person the reveal link, which shows the other AI's pick and reason. The other AI's answer is not in this result. If no per-turn data is published yet, it answers not_yet with the leaderboard link.NoYesYesYes
plan_four_nightsA trip letter: up to four nights at named camps from the records (free first, then unpriced, said so), a town run on day 3 with the recorded fuel, water and grocery, each camp's cost, stay limit, water, toilet and season for the date. Give forest_slug (a national forest) or town. start_date defaults to today; no night is put on a camp the record reads closed on that date, and a mostly-closed forest gets the earliest date its records say a camp opens. For the four places the game holds it adds a play link and a prompt with the plan folded in. All distances straight-line.NoYesYesYes
rig_mathPlain arithmetic: how many nights a tank of water lasts for a number of people at a stated use per person per day, and how far a tank of gas goes at a stated mileage. Nothing is read from a record. Any default rate (1 gallon per person per day, 13 mpg, the game's numbers) is labeled in the answer as an assumption you can change; it is not a fact about a place.NoYesYesNo
trip_checkUSE THIS when someone is planning a trip to a national forest (or a camp) on given dates in a truck, a van or a rig with their own tank and water, and wants to know whether the gas and water work and what is known about the place. It is the camping game Dispersed 3D's dry run as one read. It returns: the gas and water arithmetic in the game's own rig and burn numbers (the Tacoma, the Sprinter, or your tank_gal and water_gal; give pump_paved_mi and pump_unpaved_mi, one way, for the gas to the pump); the National Weather Service forecast for the trip's dates that fall inside its window of about a week (a later date says 'no forecast yet', never an average); the fire rules the camp records hold, as dated records (not today's posting); and camp records near the forest. Every item carries its source link and when it was fetched or built, and anything missing says 'unknown: check with <the named office>'. It does NOT know road conditions, closures, today's fire restrictions, permit rules or what the weather will do beyond the forecast, and it never says a road or camp can be used: send the person to the land manager for those. A trip with a night in December, January or February is refused in a plain sentence (overlanding is spring, summer and fall); so is a date that has gone by. The forecast is for one camp record's point, not the whole forest, and the answer says which.NoYesYesYes
trip_statusRead-only status of a Dispersed 3D trip from its 8-character code (like ABCD-2345): the day and clock of the last saved move, the last few moves, finished or not, the end-card gas and water once the trip is over, and the link to watch it. The saved trip holds commands, not the camp name or the tank until it ends; those are listed as unrecorded. Never changes a trip.NoYesYesYes
what_we_coverThe coverage table for American Adventurer: for each job a camper needs done (land, rules, season, water, town run and so on), what the records hold, how many, from which source and as of when, the known gap, and who to ask next. Give job to keep the rows whose job contains that word. Read from https://davelalande.com/coverage.json; if that file is not published, it says so and invents nothing.NoYesYesYes
