It seems like there is violent agreement about firepits as a problem in the QP (too big, too many, too trashed...) I wonder if any one has ever commented to the Park, in a letter, verbally, or as a comment during their planning process about this problem.  Seems like this is a concern they'd like to, or at least should, know about.   prouboy

Violent agreement???  Really?  So far it's you and wildernesswendy that make up the "Violent agreement"?  (I'm not clear what violence has to do with this though.  I think you mean "vehement" but it's still not accurate)  There is no fire-pit crisis folks.  If you don't like a fire-pit at your campsite, move it, take it down, whatever.  Its a pile of rocks people.  But, this is the typical response from the "Flower pot" crowd.  Rather than just doing something about it and silently moving on they feel it their duty to call who's ever in charge, form a committee, write some more rules, raise the price, restrict the use, play bureaucrat and then pat themselves on the back for "saving us" . . . . . . . from the fire-pit crisis.

I don't like big, ugly, or multiple fire pits either.  But rather than going "political" how about just shaking your head, shrugging your shoulders, rolling up the sleeves, put on some leather gloves and start tossing boulders back to where they came from.  Do we really want BW style fire grates in the Q?  Not me.

Sorry Mike, but I have to disagree with your assesment and solution on this matter.
