Drove to Phoenix and then Tucson in the tan Toyota PU, with Lorraine. Visited Sophie at her house in Tucson, near campus. She was dating “Doug” back then. We went backpacking into Bandelier National Monument, a very protected area of Indian ruins. “Doug” (aka shithead of the moment) was frantic to burn wood, even though every last twig was protected in there. We weren’t even supposed to spit. He commenced to tear hell out of the place, find dry wood, bust it up. I told him ten times to stop, finally had to physically restrain him. I suppose I’m lucky he didn’t bust stuff up over my head.
Some people really, really like to burn wood when they camp.
