Really?
Al Gore will tell you that a little cosmetic damage to a tree is far better than the 150 kilograms of greenhouse gasses produced annually by your clothes dryer. Line drying clothes is one of the easiest ways to reduce your personal carbon footprint.
Hang em low enough and it's also a great way to keep short people and children off your site.
Well you may think it's cosmetic and the greenhouse red herring argument has no weight here IMO.
I have no issues with line drying clothes at home, but when you are paying $50 to $100+ a night at a campground and are complaining about $2 a load to dry clothes/towels IMO puts you in the cheap category.
That comment about low enough to keep folks off your site is IMO is just asking for problems when you string ropes 10 to 15' off your site and and think you can't be held accoutable for that.
This last trip a family had two clotheslines between trees on their site and had everything out there, undies, bras, boxers, and every other unmentionable so my problem is not with just some towels, etc., but what that makes others think they can get away with.
Again I will say I have no problem with folks doing whatever within the confines of their site which is the concrete path and the shell area behind, but when you expand you space out beyond that with clotheslines, hammocks and I've even seen tents pitched 10 or 15' away from the center line of a campsite that is just still IMO "TACKY" and not considerate of others again IMO. I did mention things around the trailer hanging and being tacky and that might have been overstating my idea ... garbage up your campsite however you want, but don't extend that into the natural setting. One exemption is some of the holiday decorations, but that is another scenario.
Finally I love the assinie comments about the yappy dogs that I think might have been directed at me since that is another pet pieve of mine about FW, but they fail to mention the somewhat extreme efforts we take to ensure our dogs don't disturbe others unlike a lot of folks that let them run loose with windows in MH open.
