So no orgies.

No WAY, Morrigoon and I were finally planning on consummating our friendship among the redwoods. OK, that's it, I'm out.
(Actually tho I did fool around with someone on the last camping trip, and I highly recommend it.... quite interesting out there in the woods, you just have to watch out for men in hockey masks with machetes)
Also, the whole bear box thing, the camping trip I went on to Dorst was a sober trip, so we didn't have any alcohol space issues in the bear box.
The bears came every night -- once to try and get into the bear box, and once when (as morrigoon said) a bear came REALLY close to this guy's tent and obliterated his backpack to get at an apple he left in there. He came out of his tent, saw the bear, and banged pots together and it scared the bear off REAL quick. Scary tho.
The sites we went to had a grill and/or a firepit for each site (I can't remember if it is AND or OR, or if they were combined into one thing). There were restrooms for every number of sites (maybe it was like one restroom for each 10+ sites??). And you park the car like right near the tent sites, so it isn't like there's a lot of schlepping.
There are no showers that I know of there. We had to drive to a different area to use showers. I did bathe in a creek once that was near the campsite, and it was so cold there I almost became a woman temporarily.
Yes yes, I set myself up there. :P
