    Hi folks-

    Had a thought about the campsite review area. I am not sure about the rest of you and your knowledge about parks and campsites in other states, but I am wondering, if in the subject area, we could add the state abbreviation to narrow down our searches? Some states have parks with similar names (as I found during our trek west from WI), plus it would make searches online easier. I know there are several reviews at this point, so maybe we could start it going forward? Just an idea. Maybe it could look something like this:
    OR-Lost Lake State Park Campground (just an example)

    Let us know your thoughts.

    Sound good to me. Now I just need a volunteer to go back and edit all the existing posts... :)

    I know before hand exactly what would be the correct format to use.
    Like:

    WA Larrabee St Prk
    OR Whatever Natl Prk
    BC Campbell River (Canada)

    or with an Underscore
    WA_Larrabee? (looks a little too techy)
    WA - Larrabee (spaces with the hypen)

    thoughts.. I'd be happy to do the PNW ones if that would help?

    I can try to help with the Oregon ones...Evan, can I change things other people have posted? I just thought of that. Or maybe we can ask folks who have written reviews to go back and add things?

    As for format, I think any of that will work, but maybe we should standardize it. I think I prefer either a dash or nothin, over the underscore. Sometimes, if there are lines below an underscore, it can be hard for people to see (so why use it?).

    Just my 2 cents!

    Yah, agree.. one space or two... looks better, keeps a little more separated:

    WA Larrabee st pk

    WA Larrabee st pk

    one space is probably enough and doubtful anyone would remember 2 spaces...
