RE: Stuck with Rude Neighbors Argh...
Tempting though it may be to fight fire with fire, you are smart not to. You never know how sane or stupid people can be. That being said...if I was leaving VERY early in the morning...nevermind.

RE: Stolen Camper
Best wishes as you work through all this. Also be prepared for personally dealing with the theft. Our home was broken into and DH's 1100 Yamaha was stolen. The sheriff Dept. did not believe we'd get it back. I was a Middle School Ass't Principal, and told a lot of students what happened, then a couple weeks later told a select few that law enforcement knew who took it and there would be an arrest. That night I got word that the motorcycle was "found" parked on the sidewalk in front of a church. Great ending, but for a long time I dealt with tryng to rationalize why people think that it is OK to go into someone else's home and take their possessions. I couldn't get that out of my mind.

RE: finally getting back to camping
I think one of the very best things you can do for your kids is camp with them. The closeness, reading stories, hikes, bike riding, and laughter while making s'mores etc. over a fire will provide peaceful and fun memories - and the knowledge that their dad is always there for them. Those memories will stay with them throughout their lives. Best wishes!

RE: woman travelling alone
Welcome! Common sense AND mechanical aptitude - WOW. I have the common sense but certainly not the mechanical aptitute, and not a lot of men have both - just joking guys! I agree that most people are more than willing to help a "neighbor" male or female if there is a need. DH & I travel together but he sometimes backpacks w/ our son for several days and I stay back in the RV. I have always felt very safe. Enjoy your travels and the wonder of camping. Best wishes!

RE: How do you decorate your campsite?
I collected holiday and seasonal vinyl tablecloth's for DD and her family for camping and gave them to her for Christmas. They don't take up a lot of room, and she loves them.

RE: Maine Seacoast Sights
Acadia National Park is one of my favorite places. Biking the carriage trails, hiking, the beauty of the area is wonderful. We stayed at two different campgrounds and one was really nice...but unfortunately I am not smart enough to keep records of where we stayed. Sorry.

RE: 4 night minimum normal?
My guess is they are requiring that 4th night because they have had issues with a bunch of people wanting to stay past checkout on Memorial Day leaving them the choices of either kicking people out before noon on the holiday or letting them stay all day rendering that Monday Night pretty much unrentable. For everyone who thinks that the 4 night rule is a rip-off compared to a 3 night rule, would it make everyone feel better if the park just had a 3 night rule and raised the prices to collect as much as they do currently for the 4 night weekend?
Thanks, I understand the possible problem w/ people staying beyond check-out and having to either kick them out or charging them for an extra night. I had not thought about that being a problem since we never do it. But I think it would be fair to everyone if those who stay are charged instead of a 4 night minimum. We have camped in many locations where it is very clear that you are charged if you stay beyond check-out and I agree to that. I don't like "whole group penalties" for those who can't abide by rules and this seems like one.

RE: 4 night minimum normal?
We have commonly seen 3 night minimums during holiday weekends. Four night seems a way to fill the campground one extra day that would otherwise have not been filled. I don't like playing games like this. I am sorry if I am just looking at this wrong.

RE: Hello from "soon" to be newbie
Welcome! Whatever RV you decide to get, or tow with we wish you the best. I ask my grandchildren what is the only reason we camp, and their answer is "to have fun" When we see a "camper" go by on the road, they yell, "Have a very fun time!" Safe travels.

RE: rug storage
We found a fairly flat bin that the folded rug fits perfectly in and it goes in one of the storage areas. I love this because the rug does not get any area dirty or wet when we leave a campground.

RE: Traveling with a firearm
Thanks for keeping this going. We own a couple guns but do not have a carry permit so we don't take them with us when camping. We may someday, and reading the info without the "drama" has been very informative.

RE: Bear Spray: Should I buy some for Yellowstone?
The last several posters gave good info. We always talk to the rangers about bear activity because we also hike on more remote trails. Rangers had told us to avoid being anywhere near carcasses. Once we saw it, we should have reversed and headed back instead of going forward. When it was then on the trail, we wasted no time moving out.

RE: Bear Spray: Should I buy some for Yellowstone?
We carry bear spray both in Yellowstone and Glacier. We agree with everyone to make certain you are making noise and to stay aware. A few years ago we were hiking in northern Yellowstone and came upon an animal carcass about 50 yds from the trail. A half hour later when we came back the carcass was on the trail. We never saw what, but my guess is it saw us.
