Campfire ban in all WA state parks

It's that time of the year again. Through Sept 30th. The day our family camping season ends :(

I wonder what can we use instead... a lamp? Light sticks? It's the focus point of our nights.

  • we had a lot of rain last night and tonight here at home in eastern oregon
  • I saw rangers at Banks Lake State Park (WA) make a neighbor blow out a citronella candle, but allowed our propane fire pit because it had a modulated control on the flame.
  • Part of camping is being able to adapt to less than ideal situations.

    The fire fighters will appreciate any assistance.
  • Given the recent fires in Washington and here in Oregon I can't say I'm surprised.

    Here's an option that might work, though it's not going to do much for your s'mores: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fpf5xmBH6yU
