RE: Empty parks with no open sites.
I agree with those folks criticizing those who pay for and hog sites for many days and are no shows to never use them or release the sites. Just another form of selfish. When I full timed many places were first come first serve and I had no problems finding a site upon arrival. Both private and public campgrounds could still save a percentage of sites for first come first served without losing money and those sites would still be used as filled up in popular locations.
I always avoided the must-see places for the most part. I have seen same
type of great scenery in other western locations as found in some NPs to satisfy my cravings. Don't need the overcrowding found in NPs. Many national forests are just as scenic as

RE: Water Front Property
Keep close eye on wx forecast when camping by a river or creek. Think Yellowstone.
100 year floods are now common. Need to change their outdated risk assessment maps. Have fun

RE: Be careful with engine block heaters
Thanks everyone for your appreciation in my posting a news story about a safety issue to help others and keep them safe. No good deed goes unpunished. Trying to be helpful to others brings only
Some like to shoot the messenger if the story is not popular to them and for the uneducated Reno is high desert country of 4500ft where night time temperatures get down well below freezing not only in winter but also early spring so therefore some Reno diesel owners felt need for block heaters to you knuckle heads.
In the photo in the news story the truck appeared to be a GM diesel and they are on recent safety recall for block heater fire hazard. Too bad SAT.
I have no need for or desire to own a diesel but I do thank all of you for being generous taxpayers for supporting my fishing, hiking and camping etc. Life is very good indeed for this 75 year old. No serious health issues to interfere with the good times. I could care less about CAN

RE: Be careful with engine block heaters
You have to have a higher IQ than the heater.
Thank you Ohio I am very proud of my high IQ as a retired Financial and Tax account, SEC CFP, FAA and British highly rated advanced license Airline Transport IFR pilot and Instrument Flight Instructor pilot on many types of Army and Civilian twin engine helicopters, etc. with many years flying overseas in SE Asia and ME after Vietnam Army volunteer Medevac pilot duties saving lives under fire in 1970.
In 1980 saved over 1000 Vietnamese boat people in South China Sea flying as volunteer solo helicopter pilot for the UN. Later received the UN Humanitarian Certificate. Refugees sent to Germany and not your so . Anything else df? IFSSFY.

RE: Be careful with engine block heaters
Why would you need a block heater in Reno? I use mine in Alberta during the cold times.
I guess anything can happen, but seems like a long shot for a block heater to start a fire.
FYI, your second link points to a file on your own local hard drive.
Sorry a true news story and quote from Reno, Nevada fire department upset your day sport. I know nothing about block heaters. But have a nice day anyway.
The recent GM recall on diesel trucks with block heaters fire hazard support both the news story and Reno FD.
My second link was photo of the incident as appeared on TV news site.
Anything else D

Be careful with engine block heaters
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - The Reno Fire Department released new details following a house fire near Wooster High School.
It happened Monday, April 18, 2022 around 10:45 p.m. at 1570 Clemson Drive.
Fire investigators determined the fire likely started at the exterior wall from an engine block heater and spread to the house through juniper brush that was up against the house.
Firefighters rescued two adults. Both were taken to Renown. A woman is in critical condition, and a male has moderate to severe injuries, the fire department said.
The Reno Fire Department warns against planting shrubs too close to your home, especially ones that are dry and have dead needles that can easily ignite and burn. The Reno Fire Department recommends spacing smaller evergreen shrubs at least 10 feet from your exterior wall and larger evergreen trees 30 feet from your exterior wall.
A fire started in the area of Clemson Road and Duke Way near Wooster High School Monday night.

None of my trucks have block heaters. This info is for others. Cheers
