THIS 4TH OF JULY: keep the day FUN & ignite adventure, not wildfires!
Opt out of fireworks. Make sure stoves/matches/cigarettes etc. are extinguished. Avoid parking/driving on vegetation: even exhaust & underinflated/damaged tires can spark fires!
Have fun & leave no trace❤️
July 3, 2025 at 2:45 PM
No campfire, no problem, try:
💡 LED lanterns/battery-powered lights.
🌌🔭 Stargazing, dark skies provide an incredible opportunity to identify constellations
📖 Cozy up with a good book & unplug
