We did that too...the campground had a ton of bushes, and even though there
was alot more unripe than ripe, my daughter and I picked enough for the 3 of
us to snack on during the day's drive as well as top off our waffles at
breakfast. Then, at one of the stops on the Ave of Giants (in the Redwoods)
we picked more. Yummy!
