Besides campfires, no generators, BBQ's, welding or smoking allowed. How the hell are we supposed to have a welding party?

Well that pits a damper in the plan.

I hear ya. Propane Primus lamps are OK for lighting, they are really bright.

Chipmunk Flat still can have camp fires since it's higher up. The high danger zone restrictions are in effect. But the shooting pits nearby may be off limits to shooting now at one spot.

I'll check on the way back this weekend at another spot. Elevation is high. Plenty of parking. Bouldering nearby. Rock climbing 3 minutes drive around the bend.
