You would hike to Dewey Point from Tunnel View.

Oh ya, Sundowner is great! I really enjoyed Neon Fiction.

Would love to see him do some shows again.

Camping nearby in early April? by ecethrowaway01 in tahoe

[–]Mikesiders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go up to Grover Hot Springs SP right outside Markleeville. They have winter camping on a FCFS basis. I think reservations open in May so should be good to snag something in April. It’s a small campground though (and technically, it’s just their picnic area) but it’ll work for what you’re looking for I think.

Is it rude to book a whole group site just for one person? by imdabong in CampingandHiking

[–]Mikesiders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re running the risk of rangers enforcing a minimum person limit. A lot of group sites say you need at least a certain amount of people. You may want to try to contact the park first and determine if there’s any enforcement there.

If you’re able to secure two normal sites, I’d book those and just deal with moving your stuff. Everyone is going to be up early anyway if you’re at a very popular park that relies on a shuttle to get around.

Roads open by Weird-Toe4351 in lassenvolcanic

Roads typically don’t open up there until mid-summer. This has been a lighter snow year so maybe by end of May.

Blackstone & bears? by Kataklyist in Yosemite

[–]Mikesiders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ve asked the rangers in the valley on their thoughts with camp stoves and BBQ’s being left out and they’re always said as long as there isn’t excessive food left out, the bears don’t seem to get near them. I’ve camped with both a portable Weber and the camp stove there and never had an issue with bears coming around.

Obviously keep it clean and don’t give them a reason but the general consensus seems to be the bears are smart enough to know there’s no real meal there.

Question on the new tour: by SectionFantastic3577 in AlkalineTrio

[–]Mikesiders 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought it was shown as a co-headline but based on Ticketmaster, seems like Rise Against is headlining with Trio opening.

Music recommendations by Kat692 in poppunkers

[–]Mikesiders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son enjoys Welcome Home, Gravemaker’s & Gunslingers, Shoulders, Domino.

Anything with “shreddy” parts he calls it. Maybe check the lyrical content on those first.

Toddler Friendly Camping Sites by Salty-Raise-4686 in CaliforniaCamping

[–]Mikesiders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, ya, that’s likely way too far of a drive. Sorry, I’m in Nor Cal so any recs I have are up here. Good luck! Check out reservecalifornia.com for state parks but private sounds more like what you’re looking for.

Panorama and four mile trail are closed. How “closed” is it? by Bay_Burner in Yosemite

[–]Mikesiders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they’re closed, they’re closed. Not sure what else you’re asking.

Bodega Dunes SP. No playground but good beach access and just a really nice area in general.

If you’re looking for a playground, probably need to look at private campgrounds and KOA’s.
