There are no pictures of it, but after we left there we headed out to our campsite "down range".  Unfortunately when we got there we found knee to waist high dead grass growing everywhere, with a breeze blowing.  All of the adults, (and some of the older Scouts), were all quite concerned about cooking fires.  None of us felt comfortable even using gas stoves or the portable fire pit we had brought.  In the end we decided to head back out to the regular campsite we had the night before.  There the grass was mowed, they had real firepits and plenty of water.  There had been lots of grass fires in the down range area of Camp Ripley, and none of us wanted the Troop to be the ones who started the next grass fire.
