Also, this is a Good time to note NWS is keeping a close eye on a cut-off low off the Central Coast that could being the possibility of thunderstorms Sunday night through Weds. Looking outside here, it looks like it could start tonight! I am hoping this does not manifest. It is a very, very bad time anywhere in CA for lightning.

Anyway, the ONE meadow they grow in had become absolutely over run with campers, and more came every weekend. Well, look what the PV Station of the USFS DID!
