Firepit

Our Yucaipa campsite had one drawback: no fire ring.  Thus no campfire.  Bummer.  They did have little fire grates on pedestals that could be used for charcoal BBQing and also a couple large centrally-located fire rings for groups.

Many RVers have portable campfire devices that range from salvaged clothes dryer drums to more sophisticated ready-made types.  We decided it was time for us to have our own portable campfire thingy and ordered one online.  Last night we tried it out, works fine but is too small for standard size firewood and not configured well for grilling.  Still, it provides the desired ambiance, Trish can do her marshmallows and I can roast my weenie.



Getting set up for the firepit christening.


Here's to firepits and sunsets. 

Shortly after the above shot, Trish kicked over her champagne glass and broke it.  I got her some more champagne but served it up in a plastic glass.  Ten minutes later I kicked that over, too. 

Old Route 66 crosses AZ about 25 miles north of here.  We're both quite pleased about not having to drive there to get our kicks. 


That's downright purdy, podner!

  1. Ya gotta get back on the internet and get a cocktail table for those champagne glasses!! :) Actually, Walmart has the small aluminum folding table designed for just that. No doubt, you have it on the Edge. Use it!
    The photos with the sunset, new firepit, and two lovie-dovie's is downright stunning!
