OKIE Dokie! I think the music is ready! ( I slipped in Welly's favorite Queen song just for fun...."You're My Best Friend. )

Here's my story about a friend's campfire incident. I have one about myself, but it's much longer, so I will save it for another time.

When and were young children, their family held a huge reunion/campout at Moro Bay in Central California. Now, as families go, some of the aunties and uncles weren't on the best terms with their siblings, and the cousins were caught in the middle of the tensions. There weren't any hostilities or the like, just aggressive eye-rolling, condescending remarks and one-upmanship at everything from games to sandwich-making.

At last, on the first evening campfire, everybody sat on polar opposites of the fire, the children nearest the fire and competitive marshmallow toasting commenced. Glitter thrust her impaled marshmallow into the fire and within seconds it burst into flames. she hauled it out, failed to blow it out, which caused it to burn most furiously. Desperate, she attempted to extinguish the flames by wildly waving the stick back and forth which only caused the now molten marshmallow to sail across the fire pit in a flaming arc. The gob of liquid fire struck her most crusty of aunties right in the middle of her chest where it proceeded to set auntie's sweater on fire. Quick thinking by her uncle, who instantly reacted and sacrificed his full mug of camp coffee to extinguish the errant meteor, saved auntie from certain immolation.

After a lot of huffing, Glitter was banned from further marshmallow weapon production and consigned to trying to toast cookies over little fires made from rolled up newspapers soaked in lighter fluid.

This is a true story, I'm not making any of this up you know.

Truth is just truth....you cannot have opinions about truth.

My story is very short cooks a marshmallow over the fire as speaks in a soft voice smiling slightly at the memory

I actually dreamed we all got in 's funny shaped trailer (and yes, there were chickens sitting on top) and took a long trip somehow skipping the ocean and wound up visiting who took us all on a boat fishing. We then cooked the fish that night over a campfire just like this and had a great time. After a few days sighs we had to leave and all were sad but vowed to do it again REAL soon!

^_^" Aaw! Your mention of being hot in a previous post got me jealous. I'm Freezing here! Practically shivering in my own house..

:) I had heard of the L'Amour author, but I didn't know enough to realize he had any movies. Cool

...really wishing my house had a fireplace to make some real s'mores in...I've got all the fixin's... :'( <3

Edit: Oh! And congratulations on the achievement! :)

Ooh I love reading the stories...on my phone so hard to write. Camping right now. So nice up here in the hills inland of Santa Barbara...had some rain overnight and I was warm and cozy in the Egg. Pot luck tonight - I’ve got meatballs in a crock pot and now getting hungry :)

Thank you

Back at camp with the sticks and marshmallows are toasting away. Hope some of you like them burnt like I do.

Not too many memories of bonfires but the one that stands out is the one we had for a friends birthday. We had all been collecting burnables for the past couple of weeks, taking them to her place to build an enormous bonfire. We had a wonderful time sitting around singing ( a couple of people had brought their guitars), telling stories and jokes. At midnight the birthday girl announced something special and told us to look to the north. To our surprise and delight there began a fantastic fireworks display. A night I will never forget.

awww youre IN thanks for joining us the more the merrier...do you have a campfire story?

my HA reverted to an old on the campfire one it sasy i am wearing doesnt show up i ccnt dislodge it... i tried the trick duane gave you ..i took her off the dashboard and now i cant even get the old one back on hahahha

hey and ..it worked i am back with my campfire thank

I love getting them that beautiful dark brown and crunchy on the outside (maybe a little burnt) and gooey one the inside. :) ....oh, who am I kidding? I usually catch it on fire..

I don't have many campfire stories, but I remember one of my first campfires was our graduation of fifth grade. (It was a somewhat small, private school) The teacher had invited everyone, kids and parents, to her place outside the city limits. They had rented one of those blow-up bouncy things, and she had told us to bring all of our workbooks and homework (everything that was 'technically' ours) along.
We then proceeded to make the biggest bonfire I had seen of all our books and homework, and cooked hotdogs and s'mores over it while singing and listening to music. :)

(Haha! A side-note.. I couldn't throw my books in. Not because anyone told me not to, I just wanted to keep them to study later. Ha!)

Hey eggplant get your butt over to the bonfire.
