At least the official policy implies is that it is ultimately up to the park manager to decide if they will allow the "non traditional" activities and to what extent. So there is always hope in Scooter's Mom asking when she picks them up to see if ther...

I have several boxes in state parks here in Georgia. I do know they frown on it, but I don't think my boxes are bothering anyone. They are very close to trailside and finders don't have to trapse through the woods to get to them. I just wrote my clu...

We recently needed a 2 month rental and it would have cost us $2000+ if we had picked up the car at the airport. Saved almost 1000 by going just outside the airport, same car, same agency - Enterprise. Seems some airports charge a premium on rentals...

If you are in Los Angeles you might head to Wilshere Blvd. in down town today (Monday) and ask anyone walking about. You would probably need to use your Espanole though. Donaldo

What about yellow rice? You can get a box-mix thingie at the grocery store. Or is that Cuban, rather than Mexican? I can never remember. DebBee
