From today's SMH online ...
This sounds like my kind of campground.
Hopefully the trees are wired to recharge the laptop.

I think that is a bit like laptop power and phones in aircraft.
At first you think, great, and then you realise that you actually kind of liked when the batteries ran out and the phone was not ringing.
Not to mention that if i went on holidays and continued to check our what is happening here my wife would not be impressed.
But I'm not standing in the way of progress, wire up Yosemite for all I care.

Thats how you enjoy a holiday to a place like that. Raw uninterupted D70 capturing relaxation.

G'day,
I found the best part of getting away, was getting away...
So many times I've been playing with my D70 early some morning in the middle of somewhere reasonably remote only to get called from work on the mobile... I remember on Boxing Day morning at 06:00am out the back of healseville laying down on an old dis-used rail-line, spending the next hour or so on the phone to work... Geeesss!
No wonder the screen on my mobile has a nice crack straight down the middle of the LCD display Grrrr...
Cheers,
Mudder

That's pretty much the attitude of the national parks administrators here. They're nazi's in green, rather than khaki, uniforms.
I generally prefer going into the forests here, where they have an attitude of manageing the resources in a responsible manner, rather than an outright let's protect the trees and kill the people mindset, which is where many of the greenies seem to be.
