After cooking steaks, sausage links, and veggie kabobs on our Weber charcoal grill Saturday night, the boys asked if they could build fires to cook Sunday night. Since we have no neighbors, no home owner's association deed covenants, or any other impediments, I said yes. They built them with scrap pine 2 X 4's using their hatchets to cut tinder and kindling, and lighted them with flint and steel. Note the white plastic water bucket off to the right. Boy Scout training is paying off.
What the camera does not capture is the magnificent night sky full of bright stars and planets, with an owl hooting in the trees along the stream.
Master Card can keep their credit card, and we'll keep the "priceless" experience.
Every boy's dream, to be able to build fires.
ReplyDeletePriceless! I like the sound of that area. No restrictions and no neighbors ten feet away, sign me up for the next door plot!
