Some things to do in North Carolina?

Abby N

In Summer 2012, I'm planning a trip to North Carolina. I'm taking my 4w jeep, and one other person, my boyfriend. I want to spend like a week living on the beach, in a tent . I'm buying bicycles and I was thinking we could bike around and go shopping, and just be care free and have fun. I'm going to be 16, he 17 and was wondering if there is anything I need to make this happen? I want to have a kind of secluded beach so no one goes through our stuff. Any suggestions?
>and just because it's going to be my boyfriend and I, doesn't mean we're going to "get it". Sex isn't everything in a relationship people. THANKS : ) <

Answer
swim with some crocodiles
play with jellyfish
horse riding
sheep riding
eat KFC
sleep in a bed

Is it fair to call the tent cities for the homeless that are popping up "Obamavilles"?

There doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in the media but more and more homeless encampments are being created all over the country as we power dive into a depression. It's only been 30 months of decline under Obama, can't we call them "Bushhitlerchimpvilles" instead?

Answer
If you want credit for the thing you do right you have to Man-Up and take responsibility for the failures as well, so yes I think O-Town's would be correct, you can bet that the same people living in those tents will be voting Dem in 2012 cause the Dems will be offering free WI-Fi and cable vouchers if you vote Dem-witted.

what california beach campgrounds aren't closed?

linda m

Ive looked on reserve America and all of them say closed July i wanna go camping this weekend at a beach but i cant find any does anyone know of any i can camp at with a tent and not on a island
i went onto the website and said 70 campgrounds in California will be closed in july all the beach ones it has more info on it i called too and they said that they are building something

Answer
They are not "closed" they are full. If you want to go camping this weekend, you should have booked on Jan 1, 2012. Reserve America camping start accepting reservation on the 1st of the month, 7 months in advance (that would make Jan 1, 2012). All beach campgrounds fillup VERY QUICKLY. For summer months, they might be filled by noon of the first day of reservations.

You can look at some private campgrounds. There is one in San Diego Mission Bay. There is one across from the beach in Ventura and another very close in Santa Barbara.

How did oil from the BP oil spill in 2010 travel to the Pacific Ocean?

best beach tents 2012 image

Christina

In 2010 there was a oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. How did oil or water from the Gulf make its way to the pacific Ocean? More specifically, how did the oil spill affect the ocean wild life near and around the California Coast?

Answer
It had no effect on ocean wild life near or around the California coast because no oil could have moved from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean.

The California coast has some of the largest natural offshore oil seeps in the world. Over 2000 active seeps have been identified. The oil in the Pacific along the California coast comes from California oil seeps, which extend from north of Eureka in northern California all the way south along the coast to seeps south of Huntington Beach in southern California. Here is a USGS map of the oil seeps offshore California: http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/seeps/ca_seeps.html

Here is another map showing the location of some of the largest natural California seeps, several of which have been capped by very large underwater metal tents by oil companies which collect the gas and oil and prevent it from entering the environment.
http://www.bubbleology.com/seeps/SeepMapFrame.html

It is estimated that oil seepage for a single 6-mile stretch, including Coal Oil Point, averages 10,000 gallons of oil each day (240 barrels). Every 12 months about 86,000 barrels of oil seep into the Pacific ocean just in that small area aloneâthe equivalent of the quantity of oil spilled in the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara. Since 1970, the quantity of oil that naturally seeps into the Santa Barbara Channel from that small stretch of California coast equals ~ 31 "1969" oil spills.
http://www.soscalifornia.org/problem.html

Here is what a biological study of these seeps found:
"studies found that nematodes attained their greatest abundance in the highest exposure areas, whereas copepods were more abundant at low levels of oil exposure than at either the high or no exposure areas. Evidence from the study of mussel beds indicates that mussels in the lower beds generally show a positive response to low levels of petroleum exposure because of the added organic material. Parts of the biological community seem to show no response to oil exposure. For example, studies of kelp beds and kelp bed fishes have not identified any population changes related to exposure to natural oil and gas seepage." http://www.boemre.gov/omm/pacific/public/Library-PDFs/Biological-Communities.pdf

Keep in mind that the area of these seeps is also the habitat of the largest population of blue whales in the world. The Santa Barbara Channel is generally considered to hold the highest concentration of blue whales in the world from June through August - at times as many as 100 blues along a 30 mile by five mile stretch. It is not uncommon to see at least four species of whales living in the same area as the oil seeps.
http://acsonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Blue-Whales-2012.pdf

The area is also heavily populated by dolphins and porpoises that live in and around oil seeps. Here is a photo of two porpoises jumping through a natural oil seep in California:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbonates/6203621089/

Not only are there no reports that I can find (and no logical reason why it is possible) that oil from the BP spill has reached the Pacific Ocean, there are not even any reports that the oil reached Mexico in the western Gulf of Mexico, according to an ecologist in Mexico "there have been no reports of oil from the spill reaching Mexican waters." http://www.caribbean360.com/index.php/news/359217.html

Because the only link between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean is the Panama Canal, and because no oil from the BP spill was ever reported near the Panama Canal, the only way the oil could have moved from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific is on a tanker. No reports of tanker spills have been made in the Pacific since the BP spill.
