This also serves a very useful function of not having to give more than one friend a ride wherever you go as the back seat would be unavailable :) :)
I don't know if you are old enough to get the GOLDEN AGE passport for the National Parks but unfortunately even if you have that you usually have to pay for camping... unless you come in late to the site and leave at crack of dawn. I'd recommend getting a pop-up tent. I used 3 sections of foam instead of an air mattress - 3 inches thick and 30 or 36" wide is pretty damn comfy... in section to stack in the back of the car. You don't need a real sleeping bag.. a poly filled comforter works fine. and maybe a thinsulate blanket just in case. Bwahwahwah -- I wanna come too! ann ======= Well, pay for your plane flight over to CA and you can. :-) Actually, never thought about the backseat of the car. Might work in a pinch. I've thought about alternating, one night motel, one night tent camping. So it might work. Thanks, ann.
