It's supposed to be 100 degrees in the valley Monday and Tuesday. I do not do well in the heat.
Dear Jane, Early in our camping years, when the kid was maybe 4, at Big Bear, she was eating when a wolf decided to venture within a few feet of her. Of course being a kid she was ready to feed the dogie. Her dad could not leave to get the gun, so having it really did not do any good. Luckily she still listened and did what she was told, did not move, and her dad (as we always said had the look of - you really don't want to mess with me) and the wolf left, probably because it was alone.
Other than that camping was still really safe and fun. Today I don't know anymore. Things have changed, the parks are constantly being closed for the summer because the squirrels have something, or the water has something, or fire hazard, etc., etc. I hear it's pretty hard to even get camping spot reservations.
