Oh crap!! I said the "R" word and everyone gets a woody for a big fire, seeing who's has a bigger one than the others, something about Redcap, potato cannons, hide the sheep, guns, politics, oil, tires, what oil is best for your tires, what main jet is best for your gun, and is that "Pink" stripe really manly? Did I miss anything?
Shit storm imminent..... :flag_of_truce:
Mother.... :sorry: Please don't ban me...

Biggest fire? Yup, that'd be ....... Marsh White (with a little help from Mr Bean). I saw the flash & felt the heat :diablo:

Yeah Ed - we lost that battle LONG ago. Not sure we were ever in the running really... :flag_of_truce:
So - all I could do was hide about $30.00 worth of fireworks in their fire before they started it up - honestly, it was the least I could do to help out!
(oh - it also helps that they can get the owner of the KOA drunk and then proceed to build the huge fire - with his blessing no less! We have not had that luxury yet...)

There was a battle? :rofl:
That was one of those puny-assed Tellico fires you put the fireworks in... small fireworks, by ECFJR standards.
They ain't fireworks 'til TPPD shows up!
Okay, it does help that Garry likes to drink with us, but he's not the owner.
Hard to believe that they still let us get away with the big fires after scorching that tree a few years ago. :shok:

Yep , that poor tree.... It may be permanently damaged, its been a few years since they
moved the fire pit and it shows no signs of healing.

The Tellico fires are nothing compared to the conflagration at Boone.
It's a pretty good fire when it burns all night in a driving rainstorm and all you have to do the next day is throw a few wet logs on glowing embers to bring it back to life. I miss sifting through the molten chunks of aluminum and glass at the end of the week.

Funny little story about my run up to attendance to my first and only Rally:
ctrl-C, ctrl-V from yahoo:
I called one night in Jan to talk to the owner to get my reservation, [can't remeber the womans name] and, not having "met" any of you lot, I asked her how you guys were -howl at the moon lunatics/ mellow old men, or somewhere in between. She replied, "they're a great group of guys, 'nice boys', although... [she hesitated as if the other shoe was about to drop] ...their camp fires are a little on the large side for a campground..."
Sure enough!

Those were good times! Thanks Troy.

Ah tRoy just when I need a smile, you pop in with one of those. And yep it never fails to bring a grin to my face to see all of ya'll.
can't wait till Boone!

Hey, nice to see it all happens in a right way over on the east coast
Yeppers, Marsh is correctamundo. I would not have believed it if I did not see it with my own peepers in our trip to Tellico. Shit, it took about 10 of us an hour to unload all the wood for the first night's fire. Re: Fireworks...Poor Deano with the shovel, he was shell shocked before the end of the night.
What a great time.
However Ed, I suspect that it would be safe to say, that us west coasters have set the record in how long it takes to actually start the fire (2.07 seconds)...Thanks to Garth's magic.

So hot that TRoy had to make a wooden shield so he could get his stokes on. Boone fires are the best. I dig getting to control the Dragon from time to time.

The last time I was lucky enough to get to Boone, that tree over tRoy's head was significantly wilted from the heat by the week's end.
DavidR.
And TRoy worked hard to get that water pump out of Tim's??? Dakota.......went molten pretty quickly, IIRC.
Remember waking up and there was frost on the grass, except for about a 10' ring around the fire.
