Some of you guys poo-poo the need to carry when in various places in the west. There are valid reasons to carry everywhere you go. We camped in places in northern California and took walks around the perimeter of the large, well established RV park. Mounted on the fences were several signs about the mountain lions in the area. That got my attn.
When we camped at a new and barely established KOA in Monument Valley, we were very surprised to see dogs, many dogs, in groups, some singularly, invade the campground each night in search of hand outs. I saw great dane mix curs invade people's personal space around campfires. At one point I had pistol in hand...
Yep, I carry, usually concealed so that only the wife knows about it....
