I don't remember the case burning last year. I do remember getting our
fire shut down by a ranger because it wasn't in an official fire ring.
There was also the weird guy who wandered up out of the darkness with
a giant tub of red licorice. Which was not as weird as the year before
when the old lady sidled up to the group with an unidentified bit of
something that she wished to cook on our fire. Good times!
