    Oh, wait a minute here! The "Rock In" Down The Highway Earthcache took us two days, and 396 miles of driving! (Including getting stuck on a dirt road in the Pine Barrens!)

     

     

    Thanks Harry

     

    I was waiting for an email from him before I deleted his log, So far no email and I want to reassure everyone that I have standards for my caches so his log has now been deleted from Rockin Down the Highway Earthcache, I doubt I will hear from him. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt hoping he really did this one just had not made contact with me with the particulars for my Earthcache.

     

    I really do not care how he plays but you have to experience my caches to log them, especially my Earthcaches as it took a lot of time to set them up and working with geoware to get them approved by the Geelogic people.

    My friend ( Who was with me) Dublin_rfk is even going to go to one of the showings in NM; the one that is also an event by boatman. I can not make it this time though. I'd go back for GPS the Movie 2. Just received an email from Hallie and I will be purchasing my hubby as Calvin Dunovan on the Charachter cards if you are interested.

    Do you build a campfire in the wilderness?

    Most all states that I am aware of require permits and the majority of wilderness camping forbid such fires. Leave No Trace is the rule.

    As an alternative to campfires, you are encouraged to use a stove in the wilderness. This minimizes the impact on soils and vegetation.

     

    Washington State

    "Campfires - To protect vegetation and soils, campfires are not allowed above 3,500 feet or in some high-use areas below that elevation. "

     

    Nevada

    "In all Nevadas Division of Parks & recreation areas, Fires are permitted in designated areas only. "

     

    TN

    "The kindling of any fire is permitted only:

    In designated camping and picnic grounds when the fire is confined in a fireplace provided for the use of visitors, or grills, or in locations marked by the Superintendent; nor are they

    in other locations, including backcountry, wilderness and remote sections of the park areas . Permits are required"

     

    Vermont State Parks

     

    "All fires must be built only at these designated sites and in the provided fire rings."

     

    New yORK

    "Fires must be built in existing fire pits or fireplaces only, and users must get permits to camp in wilderness areas." In fact a recent press release in NY says

    "to ensure compliance with regulations rangers will be patroling the wilderness areas to enforce the regulations."

     

    North Carolina:

    "All North Carolina state parks are wildlife preserves.Cooking & recreational fires are permitted only in designated areas with fire rings."

     

    Calif.

    "Campfire permits are issued at no charge to insure fire restrictions are followed correctly., and they are not given for wilderness camping.

     

    Camping Rules in all of NJ Parks:

    "Fires — Fires are permitted only in stoves, fireplaces or designated ground fireplaces or in approved campstoves provided by the camper. No wilderness area fires are allowed.

     

    Pa rules for all state owned wilderness areas:

    "Fires are only permitted in fire rings and grills and must be extinguished when not in the designated camp site

     

    All National Parks Wilderness Areas

    " fires are prohibited; use a backcountry stove for cooking."

     

    In fact Without posting all 50 states regs, I have not located 1 state that permits fires in wilderness areas. The general rule of thumb is

    Fires (except at specific sites with metal fire rings)

     

    The entire Appalation Trail does not permit open fires either,

    "Fires are allowed in the fireplaces at the leantos, but wood is short and a lightweight backpacking stove is strongly recommended."
