I know I posted that we like campfires but after two years of bans it seems our routine has changed. We were able to have one last trip but we didn't burn it for hours like we use to. Honey got cold and went to watch a DVD after maybe a hour. I stayed out there another hour before putting it out.
Since we have bans a lot here and because it's usually too windy anyways, I think we will get a propane campfire. That way we can use it during a ban and have the fire but just be able to turn it off when we want to go in.
I have also realized that other peoples fires make me nervous. When we put out our fire due to wind and you see the next guy tossing another log on to a bon fire, it make me sleep with one eye open.
The weirdest thing we saw was a camper build a big fire using large logs and then go into the MH. It would die down and he would come out to stoke it up , toss a few more logs on it, stand there a few minutes and then go back in. Seems like a waste of time, effort and wood to me, not to mention the risk but to each their own I guess.
