Picture is not mine, but it is from 2009 flower bloom at Carrizo. I have never seen such color at Carrizo, it must have been a great year.

Frank, the camping at KCL is free. There is an outhouse there, one of those $200,000 ones you see these days that are made in Seattle. No water, no garbage service. A fire permit is required. About the flowers, it is difficult to find a reliable source about the actual bloom of flowers at Carrizo but I think they should be out soon. Maybe a week or two later would be better, but my son is headed for Germany the 12th and so we will go to Carrizo the 7th thru 10th.

Amazing! I would love to see that bloom.

I have the phone number for the Goodwin Educational Center at the Carrizo . . . I will post it as soon as I get home this evening. If that doesn't work, the BLM office in Bakersfield is the agency in charge of the Monument; someone there can likely tell you about the bloom situation. I have never seen it quite as beautiful as your photo, however we come into California Valley from the east and flowers in the hills as you drop down from the mountains are pretty awesome. I suspect that is where that photo was taken. More later.
The phone number for the Goodwin Education Center at the Carrizo Plain is 805-475-2131. Hope this helps. Have fun!

Next time we head to Morro Bay on hwy.41 I'll have to remember to bring my dinosaur hunting permit.They are right off the, road easy shot but sure would be a lot of meat.
