Just got back from an area with no internet. Spent the night at a campground in Lassen Park.

The campground infrastructure in the US is really impressive. Everything you need is there: toilets, fire pits with grills, tables, metal bear boxes for food, and some even have showers. You just need to bring your own tent and food.

It's really important to put all your food in the box for the night—if you leave anything in your car, animals can break in by following the smell.

There's this story going around about how someone left fruit in a yellow car at one of the parks, and a bear broke in during the night. After that, for several months, bears kept breaking into all the yellow cars in that park looking for food.
