One more irksome thing.... Last May, camping riverside in Lower Pines. People next to me have two beautiful, BIG dogs, tied to a tree next to their huge motorhome. Mostly, the dogs slept near the RV. But on at lease FIVE occasions both dogs agressively lunged, (teeth bared, barking, snarling) and charged after people walking along side the river. Dogs were on probably a 35 foot lead, which stoppby lovechris - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
This May, I'm arranging my art supplies in the back of my van in the parking lot nearest the Art Center. You can't see through the windows.

With all the trash at the dumps, they rarely bothered our tent camping. That's when we camped at "Camp 7", anywhere we pleased...no designated campsites...just squish yourselves in.

Hello... I've appreciated lurking on this post site for several months. Being older (an artist and writer), I'm a camper at best. Just today, got back from five fabulous days with a river camp site! Unfortunately, my stay was marred by the insistent sounds of generators! I planned to stay in my beautiful river side campsite all day yesterday, to paint and write.
