I had a hellacious time trying to get our campfire lit and going after the rain ended on Night 2 at Wyalusing. I seem to remember introducing more and more chemical assistance over the course of the evening: fire starter sticks (quickly exhausted), charcoal, and more charcoal. But I had to nurse it all night.
In contrast, Night 3, following our canoe trip, cs10 got the fire going almost immediately. Then she drove to the camp store to pick up more firewood, and then back to the campsite saying, “Get in the car.”
“Why?” I asked, delighted by the now healthy fire.
“It’s a scenic emergency,” she declared.
And so it was.

Fabulous scenic emergency! WOW
Looked at the scenic emergency in the email without linking to the blog. It was a completely black box – a true scenic emergency. Like the real one much better.
