coar15 meet and greet

Exceptions include- Fireplaces, standalone firepits (like what you have built professionally), campfires in the big metal ringed pits, grills, and stoves. So basically if it's in something built and designed to keep fires contained then it's okay, but your throw together dig a hole camp fire is specifically banned.

So technically we would still be able to have a fire, make smores, sing kum ba ya next to the fire, the whole bit. We would just need to bring up a fire pit, or two

As per the ban wording from Gov. Dickinpooper:

The ban does not apply to campfires in constructed, permanent fire pits or fire grates within developed camp and picnic grounds or recreation sites; liquid-fueled or gas-fueled stoves; fireplaces contained within buildings; charcoal grills at private residences; or specific prescribed or controlled burns for agricultural or irrigation purposes.

Take that to mean what it means- I would consult a county Sheriff's office or perhaps Forest Service official to get clarity on how to go about it. I would think if you brought up a cast iron ring (like 2-3 ft in diameter and 2ft tall) to somewhere like Squaw Pass or South Site it would be legit, but don't quote me on that. If need be, I can take any suggestions to the chief of the Evergreen Fire Department and see if they're allowable, he's a good friend of our family.

If you could ask that would be great. Even if it does not pertain to the get together now, I'm sure others may want to know for themselves if they decide it's worth it to pack one up

I think that definition would have to be more specific, or clarified. I personally read and define that as a camp ground that you would typically pay to get into/use. But it could also mean anywhere that's been used as a campsite ever, paid or not (middle of no where)

I dont think it needs to have a bunch of rules and stuff.. I say we just bring up what we want to shoot, have a little "top shot" fun thing in the morning / early afternoon or something.

after that, we put the firearms away, and get out the cards and drinking games! lol..

if somebody got stupid, there are enough of us there to quietly explain that they need to straighten up. hahaha. we could even do it without "involving" the website if need be.

we could call it the "random group of people who met online meet and greet!" lol

I don't know you, and you don't know me. I've been around long enough to have situations arise that I really didn't want to be in.

My opinion: anyone attending should be a responsible adult. As such, they should be able to read and agree to a small, specific set of rules. Until we all know each other well enough that we know everyone will follow common sense, rules should be established. Maybe after we have been doing it for a while common sense can prevail. Here and now, I will only attend and participate if rules are spelled out before hand, and everyone is expected to follow them absolutely.

Well as far as the rules are concerned I'm pretty sure it mainly is allowing for developed camp sites with permanently place fire pits. As far as I would go and suggest, and I know what the chief is going to say: "Why would you even consider a fire with these dry conditions?" I would just err on the side of caution and say even if it's a legitimate and allowed fire pit I wouldn't even try it. One ember and you could be responsible for another Hayman type situation. I would suggest that no one do anything involving fire outside of a grill or your home until we get a lot more moisture and they lift the fire ban (don't plan on that happening until late fall/early winter).

VERY true, you're absolutely right, let's just forget the idea, allowed or not
