The campfire is a special time and place for me. There is no better escape from everyday life then to sit beside a small fire to heat your food or water as you watch the night sky slowly darken and listen to the soothing sound of the river as it winds and flows past you. Nights like this take me back to a time when life was much simpler then now.
