Reply to comment by StupiderIdjit in PA PUC is still investigating PPL's billing practices by StupiderIdjit
My bill literally doubled too, we live in a small 2 bedroom apartment and it went from $40ish to $80ish over one bill. I don't have any of my old paper bills, but I want to at least look at my old online statements to see what they look like. I know rates were set to go up, but literally double...? And it's not even air conditioner season yet.

Good luck in jail. They don’t like pedos in there. He deserves every bit of what is coming to him.

If you're drinking to party, you'll get flagged. If you're drinking to sit back and watch the fire, I've never had a problem.

Reply to Total Solar Eclipse over Pennsylvania on April 8, 2024! The Moon's shadow visits northwest PA at Erie by MichaelZeiler
Will it only be visible up in Erie, or will points further south get a partial eclipse?

Make sure you're under the # of cars on the lot. We were under on person # but over the car # and got in trouble.

My experience with rangers is as long as you're being responsible,and not an ass (and they arent to new trying to prove themselves) you're fine

I’m not gonna rat anyone out here but…How strict were you on the alcohol policy in state parks? At our local state park we camp at, it seems like as long as you aren’t an asshole and aren’t openly walking around,We aren’t enforcing it.

Are they all from the same family? In all honesty, you will probably be fine as long as you're not loud.

I also don't think you'll be bothered by rangers as long as you're not being disruptive. Are you tent camping or are you in a camper/RV. If tents I'd make sure the site you have reserved can accommodate the total number of tents you need. Depending on the park, some sites are small and/or only have enough space to pitch one tent.

So, this would be like 2 adults and 6 kids, oldest being a young teen. No booze and generally early bedtime. Probably have 2 tents which I think is permitted (please correct me if wrong).

Probably looking for a way to fine them. But you won’t see any of it.

If you are in tents, check on the limit of tents allowed. That might make it more suspicious as I rarely see more than 1 on a site in PA parks. I have stayed in the cabins and our neighbors were definitely over the limit but nobody cared. Rangers drove by a lot and didn't stop there. I'd probably take the chance if I were you.

It depends on the site and park. Usually when walking and checking on the sites, most rangers are looking for sites with more adults than kids. Generally as long as you're not being loud or disturbing other sites, most rangers will generally leave you be. Biggest problems we had was booze which caused the most issues of people being loud and lead to their being ejected and cited.

Not a ranger, but a former camper who have broken a few rules by and by.
Make sure you're not annoying neighbors.
Follow the (other) rules and respect quiet hours.
Also good to get out and about, so they don't see all of you hanging about the same site all day.

Yeah, good point. I though the limit was usually 6, not 5 as op mentioned.

Did you like walk around and head count every site tho? Or just pay attention to the ones where folks are being obnoxious. Generally curious, not being snarky.

Just make sure you don’t exceed the car limit and give them a reason to check in with you. Park whoever’s car is extra at the overflow spot/ designated parking lot and you should be fine.

You will be fine if you are 1 or 2 over and don't make lots of noise at night. Only way I could see it being enforced is if a neighbor site complained about noise. Rangers don't typically even leave their vehicles anymore from what i see.

I used to be a park ranger, so long as you aren’t a dick you should be fine. Although some put on the uniform and think they’re robocop but generally people are pretty mellow in that profession.

It honestly makes me want to splurge and install one of those meters that tracks everything.
