Thanks db...I was able to get our fireplace images into the photo gallery, but too ignorant to figure out how to get them into a post.  I still don't know how, but at least I know it can be done!   :)

Anyway, the reason I wanted to post those images (if you are curious, they are listed in db's post above) is because we too have become increasingly aware of the poor fireplace building and general disregard for camps period in the Q.  The past three years, we have actually made it a mission each year to destruct the rock pile fireplaces we come across, clean them out by removing the ash and packing out the garbage, and then rebuild them.  The one "unatural" thing we do is to find a large mantle rock that takes three or four of us to carry and then build the pit around it.  Doing this, we hope somewhat wishfully, that others who follow will appreciate the well-built pit and not destroy it by heaping another pile of rocks on it (...note I said wishfully...).  Anyway, I guess we feel it is our way of giving back to the Q and is actually kind of a fun way to spend our donwtime between fishing forays.
