best camping site bay area image
rebecca
I've recently become interested in camping, and being a city girl in the summer, I want something at the lake. I swim there often and see people camp all the time, but since its a weekend they aren't open to call and get info. I wanted to spend the day tomorrow swimming and end with a campfire and s'mores. We don't even need to post up a tent. I'm just trying to figure out how else to rent on, and prices, and just general info and suggestions since I've never done this before.
Answer
Here is a campground in the area:
Lake Thunderbird SP - Clear Bay
Little River State Park Rd
Norman, Oklahoma 73026
The prices I'm finding online range from $8 to $16 a day.
That said if you are a woman alone don't do overnight camping especially in a tent. I used to travel/camp alone in a small mini van motor home. I don't even do that any more. Times have changed. It isn't safe. I stay in motels now and I pick them carefully OR I travel on a group trip/cruise. If you are with a camping CLUB that's different. You want to be in a group if you are camping as a single. Also, please be careful about how much personal info you put online.

Why do the majority of Bay Area Occupy protests seem to occur in Oakland?
Q. We just had yet another protest here today. I know there also have been a few protests in San Francisco & San Jose, but I would like to know why these protesters usually decide to pick Oakland, out of all cities in the Bay Area, to protest in. I agree with the Occupy movement, but the protests here are costing our city a bunch of money, and it's further trashing our reputation. And not all of the protesters are even from Oakland. Why can't the protests be in different and more up-scale areas like perhaps Livermore and Marin?
Answer
I always got the impression it was because Oakland (the police, the mayor) reacted to violently right from the start rather then trying to work with the protestors so the politicians could say, "hey, we gave you guys a chance and now you won't work with us so you have to go." Oakland authorities treated the protested like criminals right from the start so the protestors are sort of paying them back by continuing to make trouble. And the protestors don't care if the are costing Oakland tax money; they are getting publicity each time the authorities "crack down" on them. So the Oakland authorities are feeding into the whole goal of the protestors. Oakland authorities handled the Occupy protest poorly and now Oakland pays for it. Maybe if the mayor had ordered port-a-potties out to the camp site instead of riot police the protestors might never have galvanized into a cohesive aim, campers might have gotten tired of the filth and dealing with the homeless; the public would have become immune to the campers so they (the campers) would have become invisible which defeats their purpose so they'd have to think of some other way of getting their point across. I'm rather surprised someone hasn't called an Occupy march on Washington. Marin won't uprise because a lot of those bankers and 1% live up there. Livermore? I don't even know where Livermore actually is and I live in the Bay Area.
