    today 4/21/2022 I sadly discovered all the stone fireplaces the CCC built are in disrepair/ falling apart. They were not that way in 1992 the last time I camped there
    I wish there were funds to restore them back to their glory
    they were unique, charming, beautiful, and held in heat for a campfire, cookout way better than the generic bland steel rings used there now
