Don't forget about:

 - Loud music
 - Loud talking/laughing
 - Kids/pets running amok
 - Campfire smoke
 - Bad parking
 - Setting up camp in the wee hours (pounding tent stakes)
 - Loud snoring
 - Early risers making noise

...and the list goes on.

Cheers, 

Jeff

Subject: Fri. Generator rant.

Again I must comment on how selfish it is to "camp" with your generator on.  Plug your ears, stick out your tongue and yell "La LA LA..." at high volume so you don't have to "hear" what I'm saying here, but there it is!

Deny deny deny, but your generator noise DOES completely eliminate the peace and quiet that many people go camping to find.  Is it fair to impose your noise on everyone around you?  No it is not.

  I know that most people don't even get out into the country very often and fewer yet think their generators make any noise at all, but they really do.
  The natural world is getting full, I know, but dang!...There's Solar and batteries that do not impose on others who may value no unneeded noise, and nobody NEEDS to listen to a generator.

  OK you all who Generate....You can unplug your ears and stop going "LA la LA LA LA!" now, my annual anti-generator rap is done...hit the starter button and go outside by your exhaust pipe and enjoy your camping...
