agree .... I don't recall ever asking anyone to stop doing something at their site and know I've never been asked to do so .... guess I'm spending too much time enjoying being out and about (as this is being typed we are camped near San Antonio) than I am at looking for or worrying about something on our neighbor's sites

one time in Wickenburg, we started a fire. A lady comes around the corner "are you lighting a fire? I have lung problems and can't smell smoke"


uhhh there are CAMP FIRE circles made with rocks that people use for fires.

I was dumbfounded and put it out. In hindsight? oh, what I would have said! (like, you're in a CAMPING AREA with fire rings, and I'm going to have a campfire)

interesting .... with the benefit of having time to think about it, I believe that I would have put out the fire as you did but would have pointed out that she had chosen to camp in a CG where fires weren't just permitted, they were encouraged by the fire rings being provided ... I'd go on to tell her that in order to give her an opportunity to do whatever was best for her, we would be having a fire the following evening .... in short, she could stay or go as she chose
