I know you guys are waiting...

Here's the issue that's really hurting us. The NC Mountains, specifically where we go camping are still in /exceptional/ drought conditions. The latest report was released July 10th, 2008. The DNR has been recommending burn bans, but for now they're trying open fire education courses. I do not have specific information for where we go camping. So far, conditions have not improved. It does not help at all that we have a large fire burning out of control on the coast. So everyone is a bit paranoid about it.

Of course this really only affects our campfire, but an October howl is going to be cold. I don't see how we can have one, camping, without the campfire.
