Sometimes that may not be especially compatable with camping..If your campsite becomes unpleasant because of nearby activities, you just have to move..There aren't many formal rules for public land use..yet...thank goodness.. Sometimes, though, you gotta wonder what people are thinking..some of the total Bonehead actions you encounter when "out in the Wilderness" nearer population centers. I had a real 'soft-spot' for the Congo and Bongo drummers who camped near us in the California desert and played into the night, often...NOT!...but it was staying near them or moving closer to the Gross motorhomes with the generators running all night...Westie camping in those situations is ....not so quiet what with the canvas sides of the poptops. Bryce is really nice.. Don Hanson |
