backpack camping near chicago image
Ryan
I'm taking a train into San Francisco from Chicago in a few weeks. All I will have is a backpack full of camping supplies. I won't have a car, or much money for transportation once I get there.
My question is, are there are good camping spots/ national parks around san francisco. I would have to hike there, or take a bus/ train towards it. I'm looking to get decently far from society, but definitely not completely lost in the wild. I just want to camp out for a week or two.
Suggestions?
thanks!
I am well aware of the numerous national parks near there, but my question is, which is the best for camping/ would give the best experience?
I'm really considering Yosemite, but everything is so regimented. I'm just overwhelmed by the permits I have to apply for to go backpacking there.
Answer
All the campgrounds near the city are not anywhere near the wilderness, but just your typical state type campgrounds. So your best bet would be to take a bus up towards Yosemite. Don't camp in Yosemite Valley(too crowded), but perhaps the high country or in one of the remote campgrounds like Tamarack Flat or porcupine flat or Yosemite creek.
Amtrak train will get you near Yosemite and the a bus will bring you right to the park. Check out YARTS which is Yosemite area regional transportation system. # 877-989-2787

okay i know this is dumb but i am extremly scared of storms especially tornados they seriously make me wanna
~babycakes
cry lol i hate them and im by myself and there is tornado warning and all that for my area and im freaking out someone please tell me how to calm down
Answer
Not to worry tornadoes are very frightening storms but not if you are prepared. Try studying storms such as squalls, supercells, hail, shelf clouds, Blah, ECT.
Also it depends on what area you live in because some areas have special storm shelters like in Dallas,Texas or Kansas City, Kansas, but other places do not and only have basements and little or no warning areas like Chicago, Illinois. Washington DC, and (if it's possible) New York City, New york.
Try learning as much as possible. Since I live in Chicago there is little warning plus my family say's i am dumb for believing that tornadoes can hit the Chicagoland area but i know the truth because a tornado could hit but I am prepared to go to my basement.
If you want I could show some usefull stuff like the lightning position:
First- If you are like camping and all of a sudden a storm hits try getting away from all metal objects such as your backpack or tent.
Second- Crouch down with your heels touching.
Third- cover your ears and close your eyes so you don't get blind and so your ears dont get hurt.
So thats the lightning possition also do not get flat on the ground as electricity from near-by lightning strikes could pass throught yours body throught your heart and kill you, also get in the lightning possition if taking cover of a tornado. HOPE THIS HELPS!
