Forrest made a fake blaze. The trouble was my daughter and I found it. For a year and a half, we were stuck on it. It was so convincing. I mean; like who meticulously puts the effort and time into building a lattice fence around a fire ring? This was planned to last a long time. The basic structure was built with neatly sawed wood "ribs" tied together with polypropylene rope so it would stand the test of time. The fire ring was composed of neatly arranged rocks with smaller ones wedged between the larger ones to give it strength. Wild grape vines were then woven between the ribs to give it a look of substance. Now to finish it off, this structure had survived several years without any maintenance and was slowly becoming dilapidated. It was in an overlooked secluded area, close to a creek and obscured from the view of an occasional hiker or treasure searcher. Wow! It is an excellent camping area with plenty of history to explore nearby.
It was clear to us that no one had been there in a very long time. However, we suspected it was a secret camping area of Forrest's because they had left some of their camping stuff and among these items were a couple of olive jars. (Like who takes olives or olive jars camping with them?"
