It's primal, quiet, healthy, affordable and pet-friendly.

You'll probably work up a good appetite camping, so be prepared to make some yummy meals by campfire. ![]() You see countless stars that you can't see when in the city or suburbs. You'll enjoy nature's beauty and have fun swimming, hiking, canoeing, tubing, etc. Camping gets you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Very unhappy with stay, overall, but in another time and situation it might have been good.Not many activities get you closer to nature - and your family - as does camping. It was a short drive to the Cape May-Lewes ferry. There were no rentals available and we don’t use Uber. The park itself is lovely and in a good location, although we could not get into town without a car. On a positive note, the laundry facility and showers were clean and well-maintained. They said when park is full, there is so much draw on the electricity, that the voltage is lower. The resort tried to find another campsite, but all of the ones they tried also had the voltage at too high a level for our surge protector. We tried running our generator, but that bothered the camper next door. Bottom line, we had no power the entire time we were there. Because the park was so empty, their voltage was too high for our home (we have an on-board surge protector.) Although they had the power company come out, there was nothing the power company or the resort could do to reduce the 249-252 voltage in a 50-amp circuit. Good luck to anyone who is planning to stay!!…Īlthough the park was quite empty, and there were many open spaces, they assigned us to park our 40-foot RV in a very crowded space right next to another camper and between trees close to our space. I again contacted the same owner and was told he would look into it. The cleaning standards are just horrible. I went there again last week to check it out and nothing has improved. He assured me that the building was going to be replaced and in the meantime, he would be sure that the restrooms would be cleaned properly. I wrote to the owner and sent all the pictures that I took. The dirt is smeared all over rather than cleaned. The building itself is so old that the corrosion on the toilets, sink and showers is bad enough, but the filth from lack of proper cleaning. I also bought a plastic table cloth in order to step onto the filthy floor. I went to a local store and bought some bleach so I could take a shower. They do not use any kind of bleach and I didn't see any soap. I brought them in and even followed the cleaning ladies in to ask them what they used to clean. After needing to do some cleaning in the restroom myself, I reported to the front desk about how disgusting it was. ![]() Hotels near Stalker II Fishing Charters.Hotels near Tastings and Tours- Cape May.Hotels near Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum.Hotels near Historic Cold Spring Village.Hotels near Cape May National Golf Club.Hotels near Cape Island Theatre Company.Hotels near Cold Spring Presbyterian Church and Cemetery.Hotels near TreeHouse Antiques Of Cape May. ![]()

![]() ![]() In my house, the pictures have been enjoyed by ages 2 to adult. Each illustration is labeled so that readers can identify the different species shown, and there is a key provided that gives quick facts about each plant or animal. ![]() The endpapers instantly immerse the reader in the world of the ocean and the detailed illustrations inside depict the vast diversity of the creatures who live in it. The pictures are the real draw of this book. All the opinions stated here are my own true thoughts, and are not influenced by anyone. It's very attractive and beautifully designed!ĭisclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a free and honest review. How can I trust what is written in this book if they aren't careful to present the information in the correct way? ![]() If they are misrepresenting one theory, they might be doing it all over the place. It makes me not trust anything else that the book says. And it is dishonest to present a theory and pretend that it is a fact. They write as if evolutionary theories are established empirical facts that have been tested and proven. If only the text said, "One theory about the origin of the universe is. This is so unethical, and it would be so easy to correct. ![]() However, one thing that I really hate in scientific books is when a scientific THEORY is presented as if it were a fact. This would be a great book to use as a reference for a school project, but it is also just fun to read! There are lots of details like how large a particular animal can grow, in what habitat they are found, and what their behavior and habits are like. I really liked that the information is presented with all the scientific names and facts about each type of animal. It really makes this a special book, and it is so attractive to look through each page. I loved the beautiful artwork! The illustrations are colorful and graceful. There are sections all about whales, fish, reptiles, and every type of weird creature you can imagine! If all goes to plan, the Oceanarium should open its doors this Saturday.This book gives a lot of interesting information about the ocean and the animal that live there. Some 64,000 litres of temperate water have been utilized to accommodate these distinguished guests. Over a thousand fishy fellows will live in the Oceanarium, including piranhas, eels and crabs, as well as the star attraction, a shoal of reef sharks from Indonesia. The new Oceanarium is located on Saint Sebastian Street, a grand nineteenth century avenue that links the Old Town with the ancient district of Kazimierz. Nevertheless, those fascinated by the aquatic world will be pleased to know that the biggest Oceanarium in Poland is about to open in Cracow next week (30th October). ''Probably someone released it into the water'' he said, hinting at a disgruntled pet owner. However, Cracovian vet Bogumil Mikolajczyk,was quick to dispel the notion that piranhas had migrated to Poland's less than congenial waters. ''When I saw what grabbed the hook I couldn't believe my eyes'' said local fisherman Bogdan Pietrusak, adding that the Amazonian imp ''bit on a normal worm.'' The recent news that a piranha had been caught in the Vistula River (see Gazeta Wyborcza Wed 11th August) caused a wave of anxiety amongst Krakow's duck population. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() The label did not follow a traditional business model. Many women interviewed by The Times described rampant drug and alcohol use, even at shows where alcohol was not for sale. Young fans, including those in high school, often mingled with older fans and musicians. The shop soon became a popular gathering spot for music fans.Īs Burger grew, the label hosted a slew of popular shows and festivals around Southern California including Burger-a-Go Go, which paid tribute to all-female-fronted bands, and the two-day Burgerama, which annually drew thousands of fans and featured eclectic lineups of dozens of underground garage bands and indie rock giants including Weezer, Ariel Pink, Fidlar, the Spits, Ty Segall, Roky Erickson and Gang of Four.īurger’s reputation was burnished internationally in 2014 when fashion design house Yves Saint Laurent featured the label’s music in Paris runway shows.Īn all-ages ethos was key to Burger’s identity. It opened a record shop in Fullerton in 2009 and Bohrman and Rickard lived there, washing their hair under a spigot in the alley and running the label out of the back. ![]() Burger championed catchy, homemade power-pop, surf-rock and bubblegum punk. (Mackenzie Reiss/Orange County Register/SCNG)īurger Records was founded in 2007 by Bohrman and Rickard, in part to release music from their own band at the time, Thee Makeout Party. Their stories about what happened in and around the Burger scene illuminate a broader culture of sexual abuse in Southern California’s underground music world that - more than three years into the reckoning brought by the #metoo movement - has remained largely in the shadows. The Times interviewed nearly two dozen women who detailed varying degrees of sexual abuse and harassment by musicians in Southern California’s indie rock scene during the past 15 years.Ī number of women spoke on the record others chose to remain anonymous, either because they feared reprisal or had already experienced it after posting their experiences online. And it’s not clear that management was paying attention to the exploitative sexual dynamics of the scene Burger fostered.Īs the allegations emerged, the label issued a statement that read in part: “We extend our deepest apologies to anyone who has suffered irreparable harm from any experience that occurred in the Burger and indie/DIY music scene.”īut the problems did not involve Burger musicians alone. But Bohrman acknowledged in an interview with Seattle radio station KEXP after Burger’s collapse that the label - which published recordings by nearly 1,200 bands during its 13 years in existence, in addition to hosting concerts and festivals and running a record shop in Fullerton - did not scrutinize the personal behavior of the musicians with whom it worked. The other, Lee Rickard, did not respond to a request for comment. One of Burger’s owners, Sean Bohrman, declined to be interviewed for this story. Within a week, the label ceased operations completely, prompting a long-overdue reckoning about the prevalence of sexual abuse in Southern California’s underground/DIY music scene. The page quickly accumulated thousands of followers, spurring online outrage, national media coverage and public apologies from many of the accused musicians. Redd went public with her experience last summer, sharing her story on her personal Instagram page and soon after on a page she created called Lured_By_Burger Records, which posted accusations about men in the Burger scene from other female fans and artists. Salina did not respond to multiple requests for comment by The Times. That friend, who regularly attended Burger Records shows with Redd, corroborated Redd’s story to The Times in a phone interview. She did tell one of her close friends about her sexual encounters with Salina. “For years, many years, I didn’t really talk to anyone about it - I felt really ashamed - I felt like it was my fault for engaging with him in the first place.” ![]() “I felt confused and violated,” she says, adding that it took time, reflection and therapy to come to terms with what happened to her in 2013. (The age of consent in California is 18.)Ī few days later, they again had sex outside of a house show in Pomona, she says. He told her to meet him at the far corner of the parking lot at the Burger Records store in Fullerton, she says, then instructed her to drive a few blocks away to a darkened neighborhood where she alleges the statutory rape took place. Three years later, when Redd was 17, she says Phil Salina, the then-29-year-old singer of the Portland-based goth-pop duo Love Cop, had sex with her in the back seat of her car. The concerts, featuring contemporary garage and punk bands, were often all-ages, and a swell of excited teenage girls would be in attendance. Casey Redd was 14 when she began going to shows put on by popular indie-rock label Burger Records. ![]() |
