Heard over the loud barking dog and generator from the site next to ours. 

Mother yelling to husband, “Tell that dog to shut the f**k up.”

Cute little five year old girl, “Shut the f**k up.”

On the positive side, we’re at a nice COE, Shenango, on the PA / OH border in route to uCamp. Great waterfront campsite!

edit to add that now their music is loud enough to drown out the generator noise.

Heading out to NuCamp on the 21st. Looks like a very nice site. Minus the neighbors of course

Free music?  Can't beat that!  : )

It is a pretty nice campground. Strange thing is that there are no other nuCamp trailers here that we could find. Seems like it would be a good uCamp stop over for anyone coming from the East.

But if you’re going to nuCamp on the 21st, it’s not for the rally.

Actually it’s not that bad. Their taste in music is similar to ours. It’s just that when camping, we’d rather hear the sounds of nature. Guess it’s one of those, “to each their own” situations.

What always gets me is: a 60 DB generator is magically a "quiet generator.  But, when I play Led Zeppelin at 60 DB, other campers call the camp host to complain!

@AnOldUR - enjoy uCamp Rick.  Sorry to miss!

You may have mentioned not going and I forgot? Jean and I will miss you not being there. Hopefully you’ll have other great summer adventures.

You are not old... just not hip to the grove of modern day!  But, then again, neither am I.  Sorry you are experiencing "poor campground etiquette".  Tomorrow you will be among "friendlies" and all will be good.  Looking forward to seeing you guys.

@Scott14 - when did you upgrade to the 400?

scott14

@Sharon_is_SAM, we upgraded one week ago!  We have spent one night in it prior to traveling to uCamp.  This week at uCamp is our "shakedown".

They’re probably complaining that at 60 db you have the volume set too low for Zep. “Whole Lotta Love” got to be played louder than that! 😎

@Binghi I will test your theory in 5 DB increments at my next campsite!

If it’s too loud you’re too old. I’m old, seems to be true!
