Other things to note
Remember, you're in the Los Padres National Forest and there is a lot of wildlife up here! Between March and October, there is always a possibility of seeing California black bears. They are mostly nocturnal, so if you ever see the large motion-sensor light come on below the deck at night, it almost certainly is going to be wildlife (bear, deer, fox, raccoon, even mountain lions, etc). The light will stay on for about 40 seconds. Never attempt to interact or feed any wildlife.

Also, never leave any food or food wrappers, or anything that smells like food in your cars during these months (March-Nov.). Wildlife can find it easier than you think, and can make a mess trying to get to it!
And never leave any bags of trash with food/wrappers, etc., anywhere outside overnight. The animals and critters will find it!

Additional rules
