Campfires aren't what they use to be

Well, not sure if you have a compliment, or a complaint. On one hand, the man (maybe the husband) may have to work weekends but still took time to set up the camper for the woman & kids (maybe the wife & children). I've worked weekends for nearly 40 years and have done just that many many times in years past. I agree that using the fire pit for a trash receptical isn't standard procedure but at least she kept the trash from ending up on the ground around the campsite; and maybe she simply doesn't know any better. As for burning her fire pit trash, photoing it, and sharing it with her friends? Well, maybe thats been the most excitement she's had in a long time and she wanted to share her excitement. Might be no one has had the opportunity to show her camping etiquitte. Regardless, at least she's out with the boys, no one got hurt, I'm assuming there was no barking dogs and loud music, so I'd say if burning her trash is the worst thing she's done so far this weekend, life's pretty good. What did she say when you politely talked to her about not burning her trash in the fire pit vs. bagging it up? did you ofer her some firewood?

Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)

Well I just mentioned the pit. But she for the most part is non existence since the man left. She stays in the trailer and let's the kids run around without any supervision. They've been leaving trash lay about which has blown around the campground. So she's not in the picture for the most part. The camp host is behind us, if he isn't worried about it, not much I can do but leave, which we are in the morning.

I lived my life with a set of manners and common sense. I'm over 50 years old and its not my responsibility to police someone else's camping expertise. That's why they put wheels on motor homes. Being helpful and suggestive these days can get you in trouble.

Besides, she could afford to have pizza delivered, I'm sure should could afford to have the campground drop off a load of wood. We don't do campfires due to allergies, so we didn't have any to spare.
