The ultimate in parental control, when I got back to the campground near
Raleigh NC, they had locked the gate!  It seems that in that area you
better be in bed at 8:00p.m or you're locked out of the campground.  When I
came in I missed the little 1 by 2 sign that stated this, because I was too
busy reading the payment and other rules sign on the opposite side of the
street.  My big question is, what if there was a medical emergency or
something, I couldn't drive out.  I quess it explained why such a clean
campground was so clean and so empty of users.  It seems all the state
parks around that area are like that too.  Now I wonder if they searched my
tent while I was in town?
Such a different additude then in most of the midwest and west, where most
of the campgrounds I've stoped at didn't even have any rangers around, had
an honor pay system, and many had hot showers.  All of that for 5-10 bucks,
but around here in the east it is always 15-20 bucks cold showers if at all
and a whole bunch of stupid policies.
