What's your stratgety for Kino Der Toten Zombies?

ToastedOwl

I just answered a question about good strategies for Kino... Which provoked me to ask this...

My strategy takes place in the alley... I play with my brother and his friend (They're 10 and I'm 13 << So strange I am.). We can make it into round 23 or so before they run out of ammo... Derp. Okay so we play throughout the map but we don't open the downstairs doors (in the room where you first start), then once we have good guns we buy our way to the alley. We go down the stairs and through the chain-link fence, I take over the barrier next to the concrete stairs, and my brother and his friend cover up front. We keep the door next to me closed so no zombies can come through there and we play the round through in those positions. My brother's friend makes some crawlers once the waves of the undead thin out and then when there are nothing but crawlers left we run around the map hitting the box once or twice, rebuilding barriers, and Pack-A-Punching weapons. My brother and I then go back to our positions while his frien kills the crawler. We repeat this until we're all down.

Some equipment we prefer/use:

Claymores: We lay them out infront of the concrete stairs invade they come to far.
Frags: Erm, duh.
Bowie Knife: Not so much anymore, be if we have some credits to burn we buy it just incase.
Juggernog: It's great for close combat! ^^
Quick Revive: Again, just incase.
Speedy-Cola: This is if we end up with the SPAS-12 or another shot gun, or the China Lake/Thumper
Thunder Cannon/Zeus Cannon: 'Tis awesome and literally blows them away!
Ray Gun: Another Duh.
RPK: Not as good as the HK21 in my opinion, but will happily be taken from the box. It is also a great addition whilst Pack-A-Punched.
HK21: Great with a Pack-A-Punch, best automatic weapon in my opinion.
Monkeys: "Oh look it is a picture of the Mokey Bomb." Richtofen examining Takeo's portrait.
Commando, AUG, Galil; Weapons we all appreciate with a Pack-A-Punch

Ch'yeah. ^â¢^

How to make it to round 20+ on Black Ops zombie mode Kino Der Toten?

Tim

The highest round I ever survived was 19. I usually only get to round 10-13. It's hard to play when the people your playing with don't like to work together.

So I usually use the knife and pistol the first 5 rounds and I rebuild the barricades. I use the M14 when ever I get into trouble. When I get enough money I unlock the room on the second floor and I get te steakout (I usually do this on the first round of dogs). I usually can survive for another 5 rounds with the M14 and steakout, but than when everyone starts to struggle and I have to revive them I get screwed over.

Do you guys have any tips and what guns I should use?

Answer
I hope you reached at least level 21 by now, but if you haven't here's some easy tips that should help.

Knife the zombies to death for the first 3-4 rounds. You can put bullets in them first for more points, then finish them off with a knife. When you get better at this, let the zombies in so you can get a chance at bonuses. It takes 3 stabs to kill a zombie in the 3rd and 4th round, so should be really easy.

Don't buy guns in the first room, they are a waste of money. Instead open 2 doors. I prefer to open the upstairs room and the one after that to get the MP40, but you can go the other way and get the ak74u. The guns in the first rooms are too weak for later rounds. I hate shotguns, so that's all I'm going to say about your stakeout. I personally use the mp40 the whole match and have gotten far up on the leaderboards. If low on ammo, it's only 500 for ammo for the MP40 and 600 for AK74u.

Since I only use the MP40, my 2nd gun is only for emergencies. I prefer the crossbow and I upgrade it as soon as I can, so if I get stuck, I can shoot it and the zombies will move off of me. The thundergun is definitely the best 2nd weapon you can have. I only upgrade it, when I am out of ammo on it. Hopefully max ammos will come around, so you don't have to upgrade till way later. You shouldn't rely on max ammo though.

Always keep on the move. Unless you are camping with others, constantly move towards clear areas and look around in all directions, so you know where zombies are at all times. If you keep moving around you are more likely to see the crawlers on the ground. I usually run around on stage, since it's a big open area and it's harder to get trapped. When low on ammo, I run a lap to get MP40 ammo. If you get ammo then turn back, there is likely zombies in the direction you came from.

The bowie knife off the wall which costs 3000 is awesome. You get more points for finishing off guys with it and up to round 9, all zombies are 1 knife kill. I think I learned how to move around better when I practiced using this knife.

Jugger-nog is the most important thing you can have. it's the red soda machine in the theater that cost 2500. If you die or downed, this should be the first thing you should buy after the MP40. I wouldn't spin the box if you come back to life, because you are risking getting a bad gun.

Saving people. Oh boy, people get pissed if you don't save them. Obviously only do it if you and the guy are in a safe area. You should really have quick revive right after juggernaut. Having people crawl in the teleporter, if they are near it, then you can teleport them and revive them in the projector room. Make sure the teleporter is on. If you run away right after someone is downed, you can run around half the map to draw the zombies away from the guy and by the time you get back to him you will have about 5 seconds to revive him. With more than 2 players it's easier to have 1 guy draw the zombies away and another save him. YOUR LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYONE ELSES. I'm not saying don't save them, but who cares what guns they have, it's better than the game ending. If you can't save them, then let them die. It's their fault for being downed in the first place. I am downed all the time and all I expect is a person to try to save me or at least let me know there are way too many zombies to make it happen.

OK I feel like I went overboard.
Good luck.

camping sites melbourne?

tim.

Does anyone know any bush camping spot around melbourne (like an couple hours drive) that is cheap or free?
yer when i said melbourne i ment in like the country side surrounding melbourne

Answer
You cant go camping in or around Melbourne, but there are some really nice places in the country. You would be looking at a bit of a drive from the city if you want somewhere you can set up a tent.

Check out the Parks Victoria website; http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/1process_details.cfm?activity=5

As Fitz said, Cathedral Ranges is quite close and its a nice place to go camping. There are hiking tracks with some really nice views. I went there on a school camp back in the day. It can get quite cold there this time of year though, this is the time I went up. Make sure you have good boots, a good jacket and a good sleeping bag.

Hope this helps

what are the reasons why Malaysia is one of the best vacation destinations in Asia?

MmaLu

Answer
hye im azleen and im from malaysia.

well there is a few reasons why malaysia is considered one of the best vacation in asia.first of all is about the beach,the multi races,the food,the culture.for your information 2007 is a special year because we are doing VISIT MALAYSIA 2007.during this year there will be alot of activities happening.i suggest you go to malaysia around august ,maybe a few days before 31st or be there at the 31st because this year happens to be the 50th year of our independence.so im pretty sure there will be a big celebration.and most people speak english in malaysia.

there is alot of nice beaches to visit in malaysia.for example there is teluk chempedak in kuantan,there is cherating in terengganu which has club med..a fantastic place to stay.and there are some great islands to visit such as pulau tioman,pulau pangkor and langkawi.from langkawi you can take the ferry to coral island a beautiful place to relax and go snorkeling.you can go scuba diving too in all the islands.

if you are a nature lover,there is alot of national parks to visit.the national parks are located in the west and east.there is also in sabah and sarawak.you can camp in the parks or just go for a day trip.you will be really close to nature.here are some parks.(the endau rompin natioanal park,there are some in terengganu and pahang)

the food is also great in malaysia.it gives your taste buds a different taste.there are alot of varieties of food.there is chinese,indian,malay and also western food.so there is not a problem if you feel like eating chinese or indian food.it's all in malaysia.i suggest you try 'satay,nasi lemak,roti canai,nasi briyani,char kuey tiow'.this are the main dish.for drinks you can try ' teh ais,teh tarik'.

if you would like to relax and have a drink at a bar then we have 'hard rock cafe',we have 'laundry' and ' maison'.those are some places i know.if you want to shop then there is klcc,midvalley mega mall,one utama and lots more.there is sunway pyramid and sunway lagoon a great place for family.also berjaya times square.there is a indoor theme park in times squares. yes you can find fake lv,guess and lots more in petaling street.

the safety situation is ok in malaysia.yes,there are pick pockets and snatch thieves but im sure other countries have those problems too.so just keep your important things safely and ask directions from decent looking people..do not ask odd looking people or kids who hang around buildings and smoke and do nothing but just sit there.be aware of them.

malaysia is also famous for sabah and sarawak.it is located on the borneo island.just a few hours from kuala lumpur by aeroplane.in sabah you can hike mt.kinabalu.they have nice beaches too and alot of local tribes such as the ibans,kadazans.

well i hope my answers will give you enough information.

Figure Skating Camp/School/Lesson Recommendation Needed For February 2013?

ezgi.rm

My 8 year old daughter is a figure skater. She can do most of her single jumps and basic upright and sit spins. We have a school break coming in February for a couple of weeks and we want to take advantage of the break to improve her skills. Any place/any country will do. Has anyone any recommendations for a figure skating camp/short but condensed school/lesson/even private coach? Thanks.

Answer
I do not know of much ice skating camps, but i will try my best.. sorry.

Sunway lagoon, KL malaysia, offers 3 or 6 day ice skating camps. However, it is only for beginners.

Jcube, Singapore (jurong east MRT station/bus interchange) offers some skating intensive lessons. One lesson everyday, for one week. In month of NOv and Dec 2012. Not sure if they will continue, or if they still have it, as school in Singapore is going to start.

Really sorry. There are some ice skating camps in the US too, for pre-prelim, prelim, and juv levels. Check out your local rinks for more details and hopefully for any camps:)

Happy skating, and merry christmas

camping in yosemite?

T0o

Going camping in yosemite (in tent), is there toilets or showers we can use?!?

Answer
There are numerous camping opportunities both within and surrounding Yosemite National Park. Brief descriptions of individual campgrounds follow.

It's important to remember that when camping in this area, proper food storage (bear-proof canisters or lockers) is required for the sake of the black bears in the parks, as well as for your safety. See local bulletin boards for instructions.

Inside the Park

First, the bad news: Yosemite Valley lost half of its roughly 800 campsites during a flood in early 1997. The lost campsites will eventually be replaced somewhere outside of the Merced's floodplain, but no one knows exactly when or where this will happen. Therefore, campsite reservations are a really good idea. Reservations are accepted beginning on the 15th of each month and can be made up to 5 months in advance; make your reservations (tel. 800/436-7275; http://reservations.nps.gov) as soon as possible, especially for sites in the valley. Unless noted otherwise, pets are accepted in all of the following campgrounds. Additional campground information is available by touch-tone phone at tel. 209/372-0200.

Wilderness permits are required for all overnight backpacking trips in the park, whether you decide to use an established campsite or pick out your own camping area. No wilderness camping is allowed in the valley.

The busiest campgrounds in the park are in Yosemite Valley. All four of the following campgrounds are in Yosemite Valley and have flush toilets and access to the showers nearby at Camp Curry ($2). Upper, Lower, and North Pines campgrounds require reservations. Upper Pines is pretty and shady, but you won't find peace and quiet here in the summer. Parking is available or you can take the shuttle bus to stop no. 15 or 19. Lower Pines Campground is wide open with lots of shade but limited privacy. Still, it's a nice place with clean bathrooms, and it's bordered on the north by a picturesque meadow. Parking is available, or take the shuttle bus to stop no. 19. North Pines is beautifully situated beneath a grove of pine trees that offers lots of shade but little privacy. The campground is near the river, roughly a mile from Mirror Lake. Parking is available, or take the shuttle bus to stop no. 18. Camp 4 (also called Sunnyside Walk-In) has tent sites only. It's a small campground that's become a magnet for hikers and climbers taking off or returning from trips. It's situated behind Yosemite Lodge, near the trailhead for Yosemite Falls, and close to rocks frequently used by novice rock climbers. Pets are not permitted. Parking is available about 50 yards away, or take the shuttle bus to stop no. 7.

Elsewhere in the park, Bridalveil Creek Campground at Glacier Point is set along Bridalveil Creek, which flows to Bridalveil Fall, a beauty of a waterfall, especially after a snowy winter or wet spring. Near beautiful Glacier Point, and featuring flush toilets, this campground is away from the valley crowds but within a moderate drive to the valley sights. The campground can accommodate some pack animals; call for information. Take CA 41 (from either direction) to Glacier Point Road. The campground is about 8 miles down the road.

Several campgrounds are located in the vicinity of the Big Oak Flat Entrance, roughly 20 to 25 miles from Yosemite Valley. Hodgdon Meadow, which has RV and tent sites, including some walk-in sites, requires reservations May through September but is first-come, first-served the rest of the year. It has flush toilets and is located about 1 mile inside the entrance along North Crane Creek and near the Tuolumne River's south fork. The Big Trees are 3 miles southeast. Crane Flat, a large, pleasant campground with flush toilets, is located on Big Oak Flat Road near the Tioga Road turnoff. Tamarack Flat Campground is a bit off the beaten path and therefore more secluded than most, which means fewer folks rest their heads here. Equidistant from Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows, it has pit toilets, does not allow pets, and is not suitable for large RVs or trailers. Take Tioga Road east from Big Oak Flat Road about 3 miles and turn right onto the access road. The campground is another 3 miles down the road.

Campgrounds in the White Wolf area include Porcupine Flat, which offers lots of shade, shrubs, and trees, although facilities are pretty much limited to pit toilets. Located near Yosemite Creek, you have a chance of finding a spot here if you're in a pinch. Pets are not permitted. It's along Tioga Road, 16 miles west of Tuolumne Meadows and 38 miles east of Yosemite Valley. The White Wolf Campground, secluded in a forest, is a generally delightful campground where you might want to spend several days. It has flush toilets and offers easy access to nearby hiking, with trails that lead to several lakes, including Grant Lake and Lukens Lake. On the down side, mosquitoes make their presence felt here in summer. From Big Oak Flat Road, turn east onto Tioga Road, drive 15 miles to White Wolf Road, and turn left. The road dead-ends at the campground.

Among Yosemite's other campgrounds is Tuolumne Meadows, the biggest campground in the park and, amazingly, often the least crowded. Its location in the high country makes it a good spot from which to head off with a backpack. The site is also near the Tuolumne River, making it a good choice for anglers. In addition to standard RV/tent sites, the campground has 25 walk-in spaces for backpackers and eight group sites; half of the sites require reservations. There are flush toilets, and showers can be bought nearby at Tuolumne Lodge for a fee. From Big Oak Flat Road, head east on Tioga Road for about 45 miles to Tuolumne Meadows.

Wawona Campground, which requires reservations May through September (but is open year-round), has flush toilets and can accommodate pack animals; call for information. There's not much seclusion here, but the location, shaded beneath towering trees, is beautiful. The campground is near the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias and is also close to the Merced River, which offers some of the better fishing in the park. The campground is about 1 mile north of Wawona. The Yosemite Creek Campground, in a pretty setting along Yosemite Creek, has pit toilets and little else in terms of facilities, but sometimes has sites available when the park's other campgrounds are full. From Big Oak Flat Road, head east on Tioga Road for about 30 miles and turn right on the access road. The campground is 5 miles down the road.

Outside the Park

Yosemite is surrounded by national forests that offer campgrounds that are comparable to the ones in the park, although often less developed and less crowded. There are also private campgrounds, which usually provide level sites, complete RV hookups, hot showers, coin-operated laundries, convenience stores, and other amenities.

West Along California 120

The following campgrounds, located along CA 120 west of the park, are all in the Stanislaus National Forest's Groveland Ranger District, 24545 CA 120, Groveland, CA 95321 (tel. 209/962-7825; www.fs.fed.us/r5/stanislaus/groveland). They all have vault toilets and can accommodate rigs up to 22 feet long.

Lumsden Campground is located along the Tuolumne River, on a scenic stretch between the Hetch Hetchy and Don Pedro reservoirs. The campground offers fishing in a primitive setting but can get unbelievably hot in the summer. From Groveland, take CA 120 about 9 miles east to Ferretti Road, turn left and drive about 1 mile to Lumsden Road, turn right at Lumsden Road, and travel about 5 miles on a steep, narrow, dirt road to the campground. Lumsden Bridge Campground is about 1 1/2 miles past Lumsden Campground (on Lumsden Rd.). Set in a pine and oak forest along the Tuolumne River, it is a favorite of rafters because the location is close to some of the Tuolumne River's best (and most scenic) stretches of whitewater. The South Fork Campground, also located along Lumsden Road, near Lumsden and Lumsden Bridge campgrounds, is a pretty spot near the Tuolumne River. It is recommended that trailers or vehicles with low ground clearance not be taken to any of the above three campgrounds.

The Pines Campground is located about 9 miles east of Groveland via CA 120, and although it's in a mixed conifer forest, it can get hot in the summer. Drinking water is available only in the summer. Lost Claim Campground, located about 12 miles east of Groveland via CA 120, offers easy access on a paved road. There are some trees and the river is nearby. Drinking water is supplied by a hand pump. Trailers are not recommended. Pretty Sweetwater Campground, located 15 miles east of Groveland on CA 120, is in a mixed conifer forest with shady sites, but it also gets hot in summer.

Along California

Jerseydale Campground, located in the Sierra National Forest, 1600 Tollhouse Rd., Clovis, CA 93611-0532 (tel. 559/297-0706; www.fs.fed.us/r5/sierra), is a great base for exploring the area, and provides refuge from the crowds. There are vault toilets and hiking trails, and you can get to the Merced River via a nearby trailhead. From Mariposa, drive about 12 miles northwest on CA 49 to Jerseydale Road, which leads to the campground and adjacent Jerseydale Ranger Station.

A good choice for those who want all the amenities of a top-notch commercial campground is the Yosemite-Mariposa KOA, 7 miles northeast of Mariposa at 6323 CA 140; mailing address P.O. Box 545, Midpines, CA 95345 (tel. 800/562-9391 for reservations, or 209/966-2201; www.koa.com). Located 23 miles from the park entrance, this KOA has pines and oaks that shade many of the sites, a catch-and-release fishing pond, pedal boats in the summer, a swimming pool, and a playground. There's also a convenience store and propane for sale. A kids' favorite is the train caboose containing video games. There are also a dozen camping cabins (you share the bathhouse with campers), with rates from $52 to $65.

Along California 41

Two Sierra National Forest campgrounds offer pleasant camping, with vault toilets, in a woodsy atmosphere along CA 41, southwest of Yosemite. Summerdale Campground is about a mile north of Fish Camp via CA 41, on the south fork of the Merced River, and is often full by noon Friday; reservations are available through www.reserveusa.com. Summit Campground, in the Chowchilla Mountains, about 5 miles west of Fish Camp via a Forest Service road, is a little campground that's often overlooked.

East Along California 120

The Inyo National Forest operates a number of small, attractive campgrounds along CA 120, east of the National Park. These include Big Bend Campground, offering flush toilets, 7 miles west of Lee Vining via CA 120. Located on the eastern Sierra along Lee Vining Creek, this campground is sparse but breathtaking. Ellery Lake Campground, which also has flush toilets, is at scenic Ellery Lake, about 9 miles west of Lee Vining via CA 120. Junction Campground is near Ellery and Tioga lakes, with easy access to the Tioga Tarns Nature Trail. It has vault toilets and is 10 miles west of Lee Vining along CA 120.

At 10,000 feet, Saddlebag Lake Campground is the highest-elevation drive-to campground in the state. The campground is situated along Saddlebag Lake and near Lee Vining Creek. It's beautiful and is worth staying and exploring for a while. It's also a great base for those who want to head out into the wilderness with a backpack. It has flush toilets. From Lee Vining, drive 10 miles west on CA 120, then turn north on Saddlebag Lake Road and go about 2 miles to the campground. Tioga Lake Campground, another high-elevation campground, is a pretty place to camp and has flush toilets. From Lee Vining, drive 10 miles west on CA 120.

Information on these U.S. Forest Service campgrounds is available from the Mono Basin Scenic Area Visitor Center, located on the west shore of Mono Lake (P.O. Box 429, Lee Vining, CA 93541; tel. 760/647-3044), and the Inyo National Forest, 351 Pacu Lane, Suite 200, Bishop, CA 93514 (tel. 760/873-2400; www.fs.fed.us/r5/inyo).

What are some Camping sites similar to Yosemite?

I stayed at yosemite a few years ago and i really enjoyed it. I loved being able to swim in the river, and hike up mountains and see waterfalls. I also enjoyed the little town area with little shops and food places, it made me feel like i wasnt totally away from civilization. I was wondering if anyone knew of any places similar to yosemite within the US.

When camping with tent trailer (pop up), do you stay in the tent area of the campground or the RV area?

Jen B

We're looking at a VERY long trip across the country using our minivan and tent (as is our family tradition). But a friend has offered to let us use his popup trailer. Will campgrounds charge us more because we're using a trailer (vehicle plus trailer v. tent)? Will we be placed with RVs (and their nice generators) or with tents or...?

Answer
I have camped in the upper Midwest for 35 years. Typically a campground segregates and charges based upon your needs. Many offer both electrical and non-electrical sites, electrical sites obviously being higher. Water is another consideration. State parks in our area do not offer water at each site though there are common areas to obtain it. We have camped in private campgrounds where we did have water to our camper. It's often a nice luxury but can be considerably higher in price. Our usage in the camper is minimal enough to decline the option. We make sure our 25 gal. tank in the camper is full before we leave home and it usually lasts the weekend. Proximity to restrooms is always an important consideration if you have children with night bathroom habits. If you're a parent you may be ready for the pop-up. A good nites sleep is important if you're driving on an extended trip. It's my opinion the worst matress is better than the best ground. I hope you have a memory filled trip.

camping in salou, spain?

leigh2305

Im planning to travel to salou august 08 and wanting to camp has anyone been to the campsite and do the campsites hire out the tents and equipment as we are flying and dont really want to take everything. also wats it like camping there?
we are a family of 6 with kids 17, 18 and 20
thanx

Answer
Hello there- Yes, there are a few campsites in Salou for your family holiday and may I say what an excellent choice especially with kids that age- they will especially love the attractions and nightlife on offer. Of course don't forget Universal Mediteranea

http://www.portaventura.com/home.asp?pIdi=uk

Here are the links to campsites in Salou

http://www.campingsonline.com/Spain/Catalonia/Tarragona/Salou/

http://www.salou.co.uk/Campsites.htm

I have not been camping in Salou, but during my years as a travel agent I had many clients who were and every single one of them loved it! The biggest complaint was the coach travel (at one time everyone went by coach) but since you are flying, you'll not have that particular problem!.

You can book tents without travel through bigger operators like Keycamp http://www2.keycamp.co.uk/chooseaholiday/newsandspecialoffers/tabid/299/default.aspx

Their "luxury Supertents" are all erected for you complete with everything you need, even including fridges and freezers and electricity!- See their tents here http://www.keycamp.co.uk/index.cfm?ver=2&fuseaction=Accommodation.AccomDetail&AccomID=13

They have numerous sites in and around Salou.
The campsites themselves are very well equiped with everything on site you could want. The facilities are excellent and the toilets are generally well maintained.
If I were you, I'd look at something like this first then see if there are any other companies who can beat the price- shop around!

I found some reviews for you here;

I really hope you have a brilliant time!

Good luck!

Good camping place In south california?

Justin

Hi! So its summer and I wanted to go to camping with my family.
I have gone camping once with my friend and they did all the reservation and everything.. so I have no clue what to do(I wil be going alone with my family).
I am looking for a camping place where they have this requirement
-Must have lot of activity to do
-Must have a good fishing place (lot of fishes)
-Must have a shade (lot of trees)
-Not too far from Los Angles (1~2 hour drive?)
-Also it have to be a place where I can make reservation now and go there within 2 weeks

Thanks!
Explanation of how that place is good and what activity to do will be good..
and I am looking for specific camping place with link to its site for reservation..

Answer
Good luck on the reservation thing most of what you described is booked solid through summer. here is the reservation info link
http://www.reserveamerica.com/

Type in what city is near you and the dates you want and then any available sites will come up.

Now there are a lot of first come sites all around you just have to look up the national forests around you and see what again is in your category. If you leave by thursday you should be able to find a spot for the weekend at most of these. A favorite or 2 of mine that's close to what you describe are South fork on the Santa ana river near barton flats and Apple-white on lytle creek.

Good California camping place for fall?

Katie

My friends and I are looking to go on one last camping trip before the end of the year, and we plan to go soon! Where would be the best spot(s) in Cali to do so? We live is Southern-ish California and it'd be cool to see some waterfalls, go hiking, see big cool rocks and all the fall colors on trees. So, what's the best FALL place to camp here?

Answer
I had all sorts of ideas until you said "fall colors." We don't exactly have native trees in CA that lend themselves toward the vibrant oranges, reds, and yellows like other places in the country. But...

If you camp in the upper foothills of Sequoia national park, sort of where the oak trees, sumac, and pine trees merge, it can get that "fall feeling" like you get in Maine or Michigan. Some of the "shrub-ish" type of plants turn color. Heck, even the poison oak looks brilliantly red in the fall (leaves of three, leave them be).

If you take Hwy. 99 to Visalia, then take Hwy. 198 east and follow it up through Three Rivers into the National Park (need a park pass), there are some foothill camping spots in this area that are pretty in the fall. For a day trip you can drive up higher and see the Giant Sequoia trees which are always a wonderful, no matter what time of year.

There are a couple of campgrounds here... Potwisha campground and Hospital Rock campground. From either of these campgrounds which are in the lower "oak tree" elevations where you might see colors, there are plenty of "day hikes" both out of the campgrounds or a short drive up to the Giant Forrest grove of Sequoias. Out of Potwisha, if you hike south out of the campground, over the road, there is a neat trail that leads up to an old but functional aqueduct.

Here are some of the other "things to see" that are all day trip capable in the area.

General Grant Tree (largest tree/living thing in the world)
Giant Forrest (large grove of Sequoia trees)
Moro Rock
Crystal Caves (tickets at park entrance only)
All the hiking trails you could ever want, espeically out of Lodgepole.

Where to go camping in BC?

MangaMan

Need an amazing camping experience this summer.

Any people here ever camp in British Columbia? Where would you recommend going? Details appreciated (why here, locations, maps, camp sites, etc)

Thanks!

Answer
A really neat place to camp in BC is Ruckle (sp??) PArk on Salt Spring Island you get to camp in a grassy area right on top of these rocks next to the ocean all night the sound of the wave on the rocks are just amazing. Salt spring has neat shops, a farmers market, and right by the park is a cool old farm and farm house you can tour. Nice walking trails too!

Where are the best places to camp in Alberta?

Q. We are looking for a place that is by a lake (if you can call it that they are more like sloughs here) with decent rates. No RV places please we are all young and don't mind roughing it... a bit.
I would prefer if you have personal experience staying there not just hearsay.
Thanks a million

Answer
k...

I live in Lethbridge I go to the University, I camp lots in Southern Alberta. But I'm from Strathmore originally, and I love camping so I'm gonna name my 4 favourite camping spots in Alberta (I haven't camped much in Northern Alberta, so I can't comment on that).

1. Waterton Lakes
- Great party town in the summer time... can't really go too crazy at the campsite though.
- The campsite is in the middle of the town, but it's really convenient. Take boat rides into the States, EXCELLENT HIKING. you can climb mountains safely with no experience as well.
- Way cheaper than Banff.
- downside is the lake is way too cold to swim in.

2. Wyndham Provincial Park
- Near Carseland. Doesn't seem like anything too special at first (it's in a river valley with the Bow flowing through it). But great parties at the campsite. Tons of trees, huge campsites, just generally amazing.

3. St. Mary's Reservoir
- Between Magrath and Cardston.
- Awesome view of the mountains, campsite is free most of the time.
- I usually camp here to fish, great walleye in the resevoir. the Lake is clean, there are boaters on it, and it's not too cold.
- Borders the Blood Indian Reserve, so lots of them camp there. They may seem sketchy at first, but trust me, they are an awesome bunch! Great people, great times.

4. Picklejar Lakes/Kananaskis
- I forget exactly how to get there, a buddy of mine knew the path. You'll have to ask around
- Not very well known, nobody there... you have to portage to get there ... no roads = no vehicles.
- Very secluded.. semi-dangerous... but spectacular! Especially if you enjoy fishing (that's why they call it picklejar lakes, exaggerated from the notion you can dip a picklejar in the lake and get fish).
- Lake is kind of cold, but not TOO bad. If you like portaging and roughing it up alot you'll love this place.
- Free.


I'll include a 5th becuase Picklejar may be off limits or you may not want something to that extreme.

5. Travers Dam/ Little Bow
- Little Bow is near Milo (it's actually a huge Resevoir and covers alot of Vulcan County).
- Great place, really beautiful. Good Prairie camping.
- If you basically want to make use of a lake you can go nuts here. Be careful during peak season though.. lots of boaters.


If I were you, though, I would choose areas in BC. Near Cranbrook you got Moyie Lake, that's not bad. Further in you get Kootenay Lake, check out Nelson, Creston, .. take a free ferry ride.... maybe even go north through the Slocan Valley to Nakusp. i would recommend that WAY before I'd recommend anything I just mentioned.

Jeep liberty Tranny over heat warning light?

Dana

I have a 05 jeep liberty about 60k on it. I was going camping last summer with the family here in arizona, for those of you that know the liberty, they have hardly no cargo room with the rear seats up. Anyways I put the kids side by side and flipped down the right section of the rear seat for more cargo space. WE were LOADED, a family tent, two 7 gallon coolers, 2 sleeping bags, two lanterns with propane, our luggage, about 5 blankets, pillows, chain saw, and 3 of those fold up in a bag chairs. and a fishing pole/tackle box. Couldn't see out the read window at all...I mean i had stuff packed up my two little boys feet on the floor board. Anyways we started driving up the rim which is a good 70 miles of constant up hill. about 40 miles in the light came on, i pulled over look at my manual, and instructed to shut off the car and wait till the light goes off. did that everything was good and went camping and since then the light has not come on, been about a year. I seem to be driving alot in overdrive going up that day, should i kick it down to 2nd gear? or just drive very slow?? I plan on purchasing a roof basket some time in the futur so all my weight isn't in the back it will be more evenly distributed also..but whats are your thoughts/experiences??

Answer
Sell it, and get a 4x4 Cherokee XJ. Get the straight 6 which you can run 200k to 300k miles on easily. Huge after market, more cargo room.

For your Liberty; You might want to look into adding a transmission cooler. They cost $50 and are very easy to install. A mechanic should be able to install one in an hour.

Best place to take a vacation with the family to see wild animals?

Arthur kad

We wanna go take a vacation to see wild animals like lions, tigers, buffalo, zebras, elephants, and other animals that live with them where would be the best place to see them wild in one of those jeeps you see on tv? I want it to be clean we're we live but able to see the wild life were gonna be with two family's so we need a big place. Please give me some reccomendations on where to go I'm thinking south Africa but I can be wrong thanks and could someone give me an estimate for 6 adults and three kids please thank you.

Answer
If you go to South Africa you are sure to see Lions, Buffalo, Zebra, Elephant and lots of other animals. If you want to see Tigers in their natural habitat, best bet is to go to India.

Rent a jeep from a car hiring place.

Accommodation places in National Parks are clean. You can book your accommodation to suit your whole party (like the size of bungalo or chalet you will stay in) with the National Park once you have decided on one. If you are more adventurous, and you want to get really close to nature, there are options to camp in tents as well in designated areas that is relatively safe from wild animals.

Kruger National Park is a good one, also Addo Elephant Park. But dont be limited to these. There really are lots to choose from.

If you are looking what its gonna cost you, contact your local travel agent.

Here is just extra information.

what are the best places to camp in Ontario Canada?

Emma Tucke

My boyfriend and I are hoping to go camping on a vacation to Canada. What are the best campgrounds and what are their rates. If you have links to websites for them that would be great as well.

Also what is the drinking age there? I overheard someone saying that if you are an american you must abide by the american laws.

Answer
Any of the multitude of provincial parks offer good camping. Pick the place you want to visit and then find a park nearby. Campsites run about $14 to $40 per night depending on what facilities there are in the park or your campsite. For instance electricity or access to showers will be more expensive than one that has no perks at all. Each park has a variety of different priced campsites. Some are just canoeing campsites and others have most of the comforts of home.

If you intend to drink you can't do it at a provincial campsite. They have a strict no alcohol policy, no loud noise too so leave the misic at home or bring headphones.

If you leave the park to drink you must be 19 in Ontario. In other provinces it is either 18 or 19. Your laws mean nothing in Canada. In Canada you follow our laws and drinking and driving will get you in a lot of trouble so don't do it.
