Dead Horse Ranch in Valley Verde is the first camp we have been in for three months solid that has allowed open fires. Since we left California on Independence Day we have been in high risk fire areas throughout OR, WA, BC, ALB, ID, MT and UT. So let's celebrate a full harvest moon and set fire to two bundles of juniper scented firewood and just to top it off light the charcoal grill to which I have added oak chunks to grill steaks over the embers. Nice night out in the Arizona high plateau desert!
