Ya see there, a man with his priorities straight. Although, I wouldn't have made it past the sign that stated no alcohol but I am assuming that was at the behest of your camping companions.Morning Pops & Peeps!
Interesting camping story.
I live in Western NY and drove 5 hours to PA to go camping. Rather limited where I'm "allowed" to travel. I check online prior and it looked nice and private. My friends and I got there and instantly found that PA State parks don't allow alcohol. (You have got to be ****** kidding me.)
Strike 1.
So we drove to the site and upon arrival we noticed that you could spit accurately on the sites on either side of us and the 18 person camping party to the left were within hugging distance. Private my ars. I mean these sites were right on top of each other and there was people walking around everywhere. I could have put up a tent in my front yard and got more privacy.
Strike 2.
We sat in the truck a few minutes to absorb all of this and here comes a park Ranger. He questioned our alcohol supply, which consisted of numerous handles of booze, wine and more booze. When I camp, I get right after it. He said he needed to take it because it wasn't allowed. I asked "what if we leave?" and he replied we could then keep it.
Strike 3.
I didn't even get out of the truck, we all agreed to leave. So I drove 5 hours home.
The next morning I found an amazing camping spot in NY (PM me if anyone is interested).
2020.......
PA and booze don't mix, state owned liquor stores manned by postal clerks and I didn't like the disgruntled that close to the whiskey. Beer stores for cases, can't by a 6 pack at a convenience or grocery store, have to buy it from a bar.
After reading that bolded part of your post, I am officially withdrawing my camping protest and wish to be called Ranger CC. Hand me a jug and bring on the bears.
