Yes, I can understand annoyance at a soggy campfire. However rather more people would be "annoyed" if a spark escaped. This was in the lower gums, not in the pines, there were few other campers around, the fire had re-lit, it was not contained within a proper fireplace and there was no-one to check that it didn't spread. The gums is tinder dry, and it would only take a spark. Their campfire couldn't have been too wet, as they managed to re-light it in the morning. Call me a wowser for spoiling their fire - that's OK, I was. And I would do it again at a moment's notice. |
