How about Dry Humpers?:o

Some people think that camping requires full access to the southern skies so they can get access to satellites for watching their favorite shows. But then complain that they can’t keep their rigs cool enough. Some people complain that cleaning sap off of their rigs is a problem (which it is).

Some people think that staying near the beach in a CG that resembles a trailer park is they way to go when a nice state park with lots of trees is a couple hundred yards away. To each his own.

Some people think Camping involves tents, ropes, Coleman lanterns and stoves, poop in a hole, and bugs. Everyone has their idea of how to spend their time and where.

You mean to say that satellites do not provide coverage up north?? That's news to me tho I have to say I do not watch the boob tube. And haven't since Bush the first's Kuwait War.

Recently a poster asked for a good private RV park in Bishop with full hookups. I’m in and out of Bishop all the time but couldn’t think of even one since I stay in the Alabama Hills or Tuttle Creek or French Camp etc. I don’t need all the fancy stuff...three swimming pools, mini golf. I’m a treehugger too!

Has the toad lost it?

Some people here call us derisively as tree huggers.

Seriously, if you are here and it's because you love camping. Camping involve living among the trees -- in a forest :S.

So why won't you like trees if you are into camping?:h

Were you on the team that found it? Why are we congratulating ourselves?

While it's cool, you won't get your RV within 10 miles of these trees. They are way out in the back country.

1. I'm a tree-hugger and gets my life force from 'em.

2. Those newly discovered big trees in Tahoe are in my neighborehood, backyard and playground.

3. And finally, I'm not that crazy nor that **** idiot who'll take my RV into a forest without road, maybe my 4x4 truck, just to be near one of the biggest tree. Knowing it's out there, like the biggest one in a secret place in the Redwood National Park is good enough for me.

I like big trees too. I’ve got a bunch of mature hardwoods and a few big pines on my property. I’ve had to cut down 2-3 of the biggest pines (~75’ tall) due to beetle infestation though. I hate seeing those come down.

I also planted 3-4 Eastern Hemlocks that I dug up as saplings on a cousin’s farm in western NY. I had to put a barbed wire fence around each one to keep the deer from scrubbing them to death. They’ve survived over 10 years way out of their native zone. Probably the only ones in AR.

I hope they get to be big trees someday.

:):)

I like camping under the pines. The sound of the wind in the needles is great. But I don't hug the trees, because they're not soft and warm and they don't hug me back. ;)
