Yep, 181 houses destroyed just west of Fort Collins.

Some of the fires here in Australia that have destroyed millions of dollars of property have been caused by campfires. When there are total fire ban days, any open flame, including camp stoves, along with the use of angle grinders and slasher mowers are prohibited.

I also have to take to task AsanaCycles desire to thieve bags that have been put aside by parks staff to make their jobs easier.

I cannot fully understand the mentality that says a rider wants to tour as light as possible, then has to connive and spend so much energy "resourcing" themselves along the way by thieving stuff. It seems to me to be closer enough to a hobo or homeless existence. Maybe it's part of the adventure, but for me, I would rather have what I need, arrive in camp, set up, kick back and enjoy myself.
