Let's recall one of those campfires.

It was on Santa Cruz Island.

Salient facts:

1) SteveC trundled down to the beach & built a driftwood stack about 8 feet high in a fire ring.

2) We carried 30 liters of wine for 30 campers. Many campers carried private supplies. Good private supplies.

3) We had about 3 gallons of unused Colemans, which we didn't want to carry home.

4) Some of the campers thought the flames were 50 feet high, but the ranger said they were only about 30 feet.
