"California's snowpack is at historically low levels, a casualty of the state's wimpy winter and ongoing drought.

With the ongoing drought conditions in California I expect that no matter where we stay we will find fire restrictions in effect. Which of course means no campfires. Which means no wiener roasts, limited BBQ and of course no swimming pools. Plan accordingly.
I'm not bringing swimming trunks... but I'm still going swimming!
ReplyDeleteNone of these assumptions are correct. Campfires, BBQs and swimming pools are unaffected.
ReplyDeleteI know that the recently implemented water restrictions do not state that fires campfires cannot be started. However I think you will find that the restrictions I mention are inevitable without drought relief. For example during drought conditions forest fire risks are high. When fire risks are high national forest campground do not permit any kind of open flame. I imagine most private campgrounds will have some kind of restrictions of their own. Yes swimming pools may not be "off limits" but if water is restricted aren't private pools owners like the campgrounds we've previewed likely to simply close the pools rather than pay the premiums to keep them full?
ReplyDeleteFrankly I'm just hoping we get some serious rains between now and then.
How much water do you imagine it takes to keep a pool full?
