But I digress.

Go with a diverse stand.
Few diseases or bugs inflict on each tree species.
Maples and other hardwoods don't burn like many conifers so if they are intermixed they can stop stand replacement fires from occurring.

I wouldn't care if they replanted with White Birch or Black Locust.
My point is: keep the campgrounds open!
It's just silly to think that it's okay to close campgrounds for the sake of trees which at some point will die.
I notice that while Nac doesn't hesitate to offer forth more of his completely disconnected from reality blather, he refuses (yet again) to address the questions asked in another thread.
So Nac, tell us: where do all the overnight campers go? Shall they just stay home? Or maybe they should all stay at KOA campgrounds? What utter nonsense. Are you serious? Or do you just post such drivel for comic relief?
* July Creek Campground at ONP was twenty nine overnight camping sites. There are now zero overnight campsites at that location.
Because, as we all know: trees only fall at night.

Folks sleeping at night are more like dead ducks than day users who have a chance to move if they see it coming. With my luck I壇 move out of the way of one and into another.
But I will say; I知 more afraid of the haunted outhouse at Mineral Springs than that tree at site #12 falling on me.

And a in a blink of an eye--SMOOSH!  But only at night. 
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human末animals and aliens are great possibilities

It's people like Trollswarper and Ski who are responsible for the state's ugliest campgrounds.

Speaking from experience, those users had better be caffeined up, not sitting down or relaxing (no alcohol), and have good ears and side vision. I think my leg may be healed up now. Nope, didn't get hit by the tree, I just ripped the heck out of leg muscles sprinting in our pumice soil so as not to get hit by a tree. The tree hit right where I had been.

he doesn't answer questions, remember?
yeah.. name those campgrounds for us that WE are responsible for.
haha!
notice you still haven't answered any of the questions in the DNR thread.
cat got your tongue? or is it just that you have nothing to back up your absurd statements?
haha! as Drinky would say: what a clueless jackass.

I really don't recall being in the campground planning process. We had to plan, and do a paper on a fictional campground in school.
Maybe I forgot?

I only go to ugly campgrounds. I can't take the rejection when I don't get a site at a pretty one.

I don't intend to be interrogated by a couple of trolls. I'll participate in a reasonable discussion, but I see no point in continuing a back-and-forth name calling competition.

The "ugly campground" topic has been discussed at length in the past, as I'm sure you are perfectly aware.

so... by your definition, anybody disagreeing with your opinions is a "troll".
interesting that it's okay for you to call people "trolls", but then you start whining about "name calling". I suppose that's the best that can be expected from bedwetters like you, though.
a "reasonable discussion" involves back-and-forth; people make statements, ask questions, etc. involvement in a constructive discussion generally involves answering those questions, which you repeatedly refuse to do.
as above, your tactic, since you have no answers, is to simply dodge the questions posed to you, because your arguments have no substance and you have nothing to support your proposals. nada. just a lot of hot air and pie-in-the-sky pipe-dream stuff.
it's okay though - at least you're good for a laugh now and then.

No, I am not aware. You are woosing out nicely. As usual. Sun Lakes comes to mind. I've not liked the camping, but I've enjoyed the lake, the bike rides and even golfed there, but not obeying golf rules. Golf with rules is boring.
Interrogate? That's a bit of an overstatement. You insult us, you spout profound opinions, but you rarely show any experience or knowledge to back up such profoundness. We're giving you a chance to show off.

yeah... I thought maybe it was just my failing memory... but I don't recall any "ugly campground" threads here.
got a link for the "ugly campground" thread, by chance?
