Uncooked S'mores are DEAD TO ME

The great camping debate rages on...We always camp in the "Burnt Woods" area of Oregon, but last year we had an unexpected family-feud-inducing campfire/no-campfire controversy- basically we weren't able to have a campfire (because of issues too complicated to get into, trust me...)

Now, I am normally sensitive to mental health issues, but having no fire makes camping STUPID for everyone involved, especially when it is unexpected and all meals have been based around cooking on a fire- I am speaking from experience here, a person can only eat so many propane-stove-boiled hot dogs and uncooked s'mores during a 3 day camp-out. My annoyance turned into barely-concealed anger when the first night fell and we had to go to sleep at 8:00 because it was freezing cold and pitch black (except for our 1 small battery-operated lantern). Here is a photo of John and our friend Alex in front of the roaring "fire", taken at approximately 7:58pm (bed-time!).


Here we are on a day-trip to Newport (our only source of non-boiled food) on day 2 of the campout. I had to get to real food- Look! I can barely hide my disgust!
This year I refuse to go back unless I am guaranteed that there will be a campfire (and possibly some tranquilizers for anyone who needs to CHILL). So far, the opposing side is not backing down. Do I want to camp for 3 days with a 6 month old baby and NO fire for cooking (or for SEEING/KEEPING WARM at night?) I do NOT think so!
