We have a campfire ban on now because of how dry and hot its been... I saw several people still having campfires, knowing they won't get caught that far out of town. Really disappointing to see. This is why when things get really dry, they actually close down the provincial and national parks and service roads. Everyone thinks the rules don't apply to them. Camping without a fire isn't the best, but we strung up little LED lights and flameless candles and still had a blast just watching the stars. No need to risk burning the place down when the sun is up until almost 10pm anyways.
Fuckers ruin it for the rest of us.
