Have you ever seen a fire pit like this?
Or like these?
Well, this is it. Our camping season has started. We are off on an excursion. It’s a bit early in the year – not beyond the possibility of freezing temps, but we’re OK with that.
We saw these charming characters at our first stop on our 2023 travels. I’d love to see these fire pits ablaze with a roaring fire, with their personalities shining through even more. But it was not to be. Perhaps another time.
Where are we going? Regular readers should know me by now. I’m not saying – yet. However, there are two clues in the post for the very, very astute. Everyone else – stay tuned.
Happy Friday!

Haha, how cute! My hubs makes metal artwork and made me a firepit with PCT and mountains and trees cut out. It is not as fancy as these though! Fun!

You are lucky! I thought these fire pits were just beautiful and would be so pretty with a fire in them. Enjoy your day!

I’ve seen a few cut metal fire pits when Camping in our part of Canada. I believe I have a photo of a lit one somewhere. Now I must look. These are very detailed and playful compared to the ones I remember. I’m happy you’re able to kick off your 2023 early, Betty and am looking forward to your adventures. As far as this one goes, I searched the photos and your text, and for some reason all I can come up with is Kansas, and I’m not even sure why – maybe because the first fire pit reminds me of the tin man from the Wizard of Oz (although I don’t recall that character smoking a pipe).

Thank you for taking a guess, Terry. It was a good guess, but we are not in Kansas. 🙂 I usually don’t get good pictures of sunsets or a colorful sky right before sunset, so I’m guessing if I took a picture of a fire in one of these, it wouldn’t turn out as pretty as real life. But I’d bet your photo is a good one. I do think these fire pits are so fun! I appreciate you following our adventures. I hope you have a wonderful Friday!

Those fire pits are unique. I, too, would like to see them with fire. Looking forward to your first 2023 camping excursion.

Thank you, Linda. I had never seen fire pits like these before – at least that I remember! And like you, I’d really like to see them in use. Maybe next time! Hope you enjoy your Friday!

Well, perhaps my clues are not all that great. In any case, I do hope you – and all the others – will sleep well at night. 🙂 Enjoy your Friday!

I don’t believe it is down South but someone up North. There seem to be indications of 4 seasons and some winter folliage.

OK, I guess I’m not very astute. So that means I’m going to have to keep close tabs on upcoming blogs. Wherever you are, no matter how cold it might get, keep warm and enjoy.

Bill, I think you are very astute! However, my clues were pretty, pretty subtle. We are keeping warm and enjoying where we are and will continue to do so for a few more days. Hope you and Barb are doing well. Enjoy your weekend!

I’m wondering, have you gone back to the lodge?

You’re still thinking about this? 🙂 We did not go back to the lodge. We are in our travel trailer. I think we are going to have to re-winterize when we get back home. Oh well. This trip is worth it to us because we really wanted to …. Oh wait. Can’t say just yet. But I can say . . . Hope you have a great weekend!

I am late to the party, so I am not even going to guess. It is pretty cold tonight in Mississippi but nowhere close to freezing! For some reason, those fire pits make me think of something you would see in the Ozarks–but that is not a guess–just a commentary on the fire pits. Have fun and hope you don’t get rained out–we have yet more coming again tomorrow!

Suz, you aren’t late to the party; you ARE the party! Now that you say that, these fire pits do look a little “Ozarky.” But since it’s not a guess, I’ll leave it at that. I think we are OK – rain-wise, but, do you ever really know? Hope you have a good day!

If we ever have the chance, I will certainly try to capture one of those fire pits with a fire burning. I bet it would look great. Thank you for your good wishes and happy thoughts!
