> I hope people are careful about looking up when they stop to camp or rest. It amazes me what people set up tents under.....
I was hiking with a friend through Yosemite, and she spoke of something similar, of a ranger warning people to watch where they camp. The topic was foreign to me, so I told her I'd never heard of that. Maybe I said it with the wrong tone in my voice, but it set her off. She took off hiking like crazy, and the rest of the group had a hard time keeping up. I think she eventually cooled down, though.
Fast forward a year or two... Talking to another camper on one of our Channel Island trips, a woman related that she was camping with a group, and in the night a limb fell from the tree overhead ...and killed the fellow sleeping right next to her!
Obviously I am a believer now!
