It has not been as fun here at the LTVA this year. I think because of the government shutdown it has attracted more sketchy campers. The utilities of water, dump and trash are still available here but there is no one collecting any money to stay here. I went online to buy the pass, but with no one checking, many are using the amenities for free. There are signs by the water and trash saying you must have a pass to use them, but it\u2019s kind of like the speed limit signs on the 202 – no one pays much attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have a spot I like to camp at every year. It\u2019s out of the way, not very dusty, and close to the water station. This is the first year I\u2019ve been dissatisfied with my chosen site. No one is running a generator, but next door there is a dog that barks day and night. When the coyotes get going at night it really sets him off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most troublesome situation happened a week ago. A group of party warriors moved in one wash over and they love their music. I\u2019m just far enough away that I can\u2019t hear the music but the constant boom of the base drum rattles my windows and walls. They usually start in the afternoon and thankfully quiet down after 10 pm. I\u2019m very glad I will be moving in a few days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
