Back to 'stinking campfires'....we were camped in the Colorado mountains last night, in a lovely small USFS campground and the next site up the road (which was a lot more than an awning's width away) had a nice, little campfire and we got just the occasional wife of campfire smell. It was a very pleasant addition to a peaceful, quiet camping experience.
Then we got close to home and I could faintly smell fire....not campfire but wildfire. Sure enough, there's another fire up in Mesa Verde. I didn't think there was enough left there to burn.
