[pct-l] campfires

[Meridith Rosendahl]

My turn to rant.  Northern California is also a tinderbox.  Please Please
Please DO NOT BUILD CAMPFIRES.  Go stoveless if you can or be hyper careful
with stoves.  We lost 75,000+ acres to the Chips fire in 2012 and we just
can't go through that again.  The Chips fire was started right on the PCT,
by whom was never determined.  Don't let it be you.

I'm asking because I'm seeing mention in online journals of people having
campfires.

Unbelievable, how can people hike through mile after mile of burn and think
campfires are OK?

The San Gabriels are dryer than I have seen them in my 30+ years of hiking
here. No fires, please.
