Stop in for a cup of coffee

Good morning.

People sue for some really stupid things here - and win.

As for the stick collection. Those rules are only neccesary because people don't have any sense, common or otherwise. If it ain't dead and dry, you ain't starting a fire with it. I've been camping many times and started many fires. We usually brought/bought big pieces, but collected sticks to start the fire. There's usually plenty there and it helps keep the place cleaned up. We did cut fresh sticks from mature trees to cook hot dogs and marshmallows - the way I learned in boy scouts. Again it's common sense and respect. If you are in a sterile, frufru 'campground' with hardly any trees, that may be destructive if there are a lot of people. In a heavily forested area, hundreds of people could do this and not have any ill effect.
