    We don't usually see that unless you're camping at an Off-Highway Vehicle Park where I'd expect it.

    Yea, I always tell someone where I'm going for camping trips nowdays. I'm bad about not telling someone for daytrips/afternoon trips, but everywhere around here is pretty populated. Plus, its hard to get out of cell range. Its usually pretty hard for me to find someone to go with.

    well im back! im liking the discussions going on. it gave me a good read lol. I was with a party of 8 this trip and have only been solo once. solo is kinda sketchy cause im bound to hurt my self so i like to go with at least one other person. it also make camp work much easier. Ill have pics from the trip in a few days. it was way to freakin cold. I learned i need a new sleeping bag and that a tarp and bivy is not for me. other than it being 20 degrees and snow on the ground i had a good time. got to see an amazing sunrise and meet some really cool people at the shelters.

    That spitfire looks pretty nice! Check out that eureka site I gave you. I saw an Apex 2 on there that may be worth checking out.

    Well.... I will be getting my new tent in tomorrow. I highly recommend the Eureka camping center. Awesome deals and the manager is super cool. See my link above and check out what they have!!

    I will post up a review of what the tent is like once I set it up.

    I have never had a problem with ATV's however two kids with gas powered scooters almost made me shoot them. There is no reason to cicle my site at the end of the camp ground! I thought about stuffing the lobster shells underneath their popup for the bears to find:spy:
