Laying a block or flat down, for the foot of a leveling jack, could be viewed as a thing of respect, for the other campers that should come in behind you.
Reason being, next time you walk into a site or park spot at night, where another camper parked & did not use a block or flat under the jack foot, step into the hole that was left from their jacks where who ever was parked there before & didnt give a flip one way or the other, then turn you ankle over from not seeing that hole in the grass.
You'll be wishing that a bunch of others would at least have had some amount of camper respect, to not put the jacks down with out some sort of support under that foot.
I might look foolish doing it, laying those flats down for the jacks, but no body parking behind me will have to worry about stepping in a hole I left in the dirt.

I never thought about it in that way but it really is a great point.
Leaving any holes, large or small can ultimately hurt the next campers. There would be nothing worse than having to visit the Emergency room and spending your entire trip with a bum foot or ankle.
Leave nothing behind except your actual foot prints!
