Troop198: I think it's great that you would add your experience on this issue and I want to go on record as saying I'm determined over this, but not rabid. Everyone has an opinion in my book and as long as they attempt to be civil (LOL), it can be discussed in detail.
At the group camp near our screen shelter were a large group of visually challenged folks. It got down to 38 Saturday night and I watched as they walked with canes or were led by hand up to the bathroom. I thought they especially would have enjoyed a radiant campfire this past night.
I also don't think it is my way or the highway and realize the need of fire bans. I expect to get a whiplash, or even worse be totally ignored by officials, who will "for the good of everyone", make decisions FOR us., but one way or another the issue will be discussed and folks who may have never given it a thought, will think.
