Our campsite in the Arizona desert came with a ring of rocks that just cry out to hold a fire.
But, we are not allowed to gather wood from the nearby forest.
We can buy wood in town for $5.00 a bundle.
Buying several bundles at once brings the price down some. Lee can load his truck for $40. That’s still expensive fire wood. Mike found a place to scavenge cable roll tops and brought back a bunch of them. The gas to bring these back, though, costs about the same as buying a load of bundled wood locally.
IYQ, Mary Jane, and neighbor Bud spent most of a day disassembling one top. There had to be a better way. So, IYQ figured out this set up.
The fire on the cable roll top starts it burning, too. When it starts to break up, we shove the remains of it into the fire ring.
And we all sit around and enjoy our fire and conversation.
Except Mike. He was home sick the evening this picture was taken and Julie hadn’t yet come to the fire. We burned their cable roll top anyway.
From left to right: me, IYQ (another Lee), Mary Jane, Lee, Jeri, and Terry. Dave is, of course, behind the camera.

Hmmm. Did I notice lots of pictures? Yes, I did.
Thank you, thank you.
