I too have wondered about sleeping in my kitchen. Especially with the top up. Certainly made me more aware of what I might cook in a given surrounding. That said.... Last Fall, I had occasion to scoot across the border into California to Jedidiah CG in the Redwoods. Every camp spot I saw had a "bear proof" food storage locker. And IIRC, there was signage stating that one had to store all food in these containers. The higher fee not withstanding, for that reason alone I turned tail to the nearest OR campground. IMO, it seemed to me that the bears were a problem that was deeply ingrained. Neil.
