Great idea Jesse, very gracious of you to offer. I will be a game time decision as I have a lot going on the weekend but will make an attempt to stop by Friday if it works out.The whole burn ban is a killer indeed. What if I open up our farm for the week instead? Close proximity to Jesse Owen's State Park for hunting/fishing. We can have a fire. There's electric and water. If it's legitimately only a handful of us, we could still assemble and have a white man fire. Plus, it's only 45 minutes from Strouds, so not a huge geographic shift.
I am down for whatever, we can also do it at my farm. Also I do have a propane fire pit, not the same but it is a fire.For the record, I'm good with going to Strouds and keeping the tradition in place. Propane lanterns don't have the same ambiance, but they'd fill void.
