Popular Lake Hartwell Campground Extends Camping Season
Traditionally Twin Lakes Campground has been a popular camping spot for Clemson Tiger football fans during the season. However due to budget cuts the U.S Corps of Engineers scheduled Twin Lakes to end their season on September 9th.
The Corps has since rescinded their decision and will remain open until November 30th. Click here for the rest of the story.

Do you think people should be allowed to carry weapons in National Parks ?

I carry a gun in National Parks. I also carry a weapon in National Forests, BLM lands, State lands, and so on.
In most cases it is not legal to do so, and I am breaking the law. On the other hand, I have had to flush drug addicts, illegal immigrants, aggressive teenagers, drunks, fighting spouses and other losers out of my campsites since I started camping on my own back in the eighties.
I had to unload a can of bear mace into the grill of a jacked up biker who pulled a .44 magnum revolver on me; luckily, the sheriff was close by to bundle the bad guy off to the pokey. I was out of the campground the next morning by dawn . . . afraid homeboy’s buddies would come back to exact some revenge.
So, yes, I think firearms should be allowed in National Parks (in the hands of licensed, registered owners). At least then I wouldn’t be the lawbreaker . . .
