The state park at Merritt Reservoir was a bit rustic.  The
place clearly catered mostly to fishermen, and it also seemed
somewhat trashy.  It was fine for a night, though.  And we had
a nice sunset...

  I see they claim to have "some of the darkest skies in the
  world".  Did you have a clear night and see the Milky Way?

 
Good question, I meant to mention that.  I got out of bed about 2
am to pee, and decided to step out of the trailer to see the
stars.  As it happened, the next door trailer had all their
exterior LED lights blazing, so I didn't see much.
 

IMO, cutesy LEDs are right up there with generators, radios, and
buttugly yapping dogs.

 
I know, what the hell.  I can understand needing a little light to see
around your site in the dark, but some people seem to be proud of their
special lighting and just want to show off.  It's bad enough when they
do this when they're sitting outside, but why in the hell would you
leave them on when you go inside.  They're either too stupid to
understand that others might not like all the light, or they just don't
care and do it anyway.
Same with radios.  What in the hell makes someone think that other
people camping want to hear their radio blaring away?  Stupid or just
rude.  Assholes!
 
 

 
Democrats!
 

We are on our way to Seattle (ugh). Beautiful area, lunatic people. Anyway,
not much to say on the way up. We are on a time crunch. I may try to post a
little on the trip back home. We have covered this route so many times we
are almost oblivious to the sights. I do have plans to try a new route home
this time so I may have something to report.
