a big :P~~~~~

I understand the logic of it, but I still disagree with one area.

All areas under the control of Coconino National Forests will be closed on Friday. It will reopen after it gets some rain. The goal is to prevent man made fires that go out of control.

That means no 4th of July at the Cinders. If the drought presists, no Labor Day at Blue Ridge too. I wish they would keep the Cinders open. It's an area where an active volcano existed. The ground is volcanic ash, a few small grasses scattered around and some tall trees here and there in clusters. Last year for the 4th of July, we staked out an area where the tents were under the trees, and we had a fire in a big clearing. We were also very careful and made sure you could walk on our old camfire to make sure nothing would burn.

But not everyone is as careful as we are. So we all have to pay by having those areas closed off to all.

Now if they'll do something about the assholes that throw out their cigarettes, we could prevent a majority of the wildfires.
