Children die in horrible camping accident
I love trees but am becoming more aware of this danger. Last camping trip me and the kids took was in a Forest Service campground and I had no choice but to camp on the pad in our spot, right under some very tall Ponderosa Pine Trees. Looking up I could see some dead branches way high and I could also see where lower dead branches had been cut off. I considered the risk & did it anyway.
I don't think I'm camping like that again.
