Burn bans lifted finally

I hope things don't go south before we get there and have the 1st campfire in 2 years. A good fire, great friends and a few Beam and branch waters are lagniappe on a deer hunt. May even have to dust off the rain gear. Seems the colder weather with a little rain might have jump started the rut finally.

I'm glad things can finally start to get back to normal...outdoor bar-b-ques and bonfires- are as American as apple pie!

I'd love to donate a few tires, but I burned the few I had on earth day. No joking.

The campfire is the center of camp life whether hunting is good or bad. It is a constant that adds to all other functions and has been missed. With all the native American activity in this area in the past,we aren't the first hunting party to seat around these burn spots. The song dogs seem to be more active when smoke reaches their muzzle.

Our burn ban in WA is during an inversion, and we can't use our fireplaces. In the morning, the whole area smells of woodsmoke, because the "smoke police" don't work evenings.

Our bans up here lasted for months. My trash was piled up to the size of a school bus and the powers to be would not let me burn it. Finally got to do so last week.

All my camping friends began wanting to have camp fires as the weather cooled off. After all we had about 60 days of over 100 degrees and who wants or needs a camp fire then. Once it got to the upper 60's, they began wanting morning and evening campfires but they were out of luck.

Now everyone is happy. We have rain, lower temps and can burn camp fires and trash.

Good. Bans are at times necessary. But it's nice when things get back to normal.
