That gives a new meaning to the term "Hot, teen-age passion.". . . It was 1962, I was 13 then, not 14, in a place called Barfoot Park, . . .
The fire burned about 10 acres, which is pretty small for a forest fire. Maybe the Forest Service has records you could check to verify my veracity.
Anyway, there were a couple of girls involved, aged 13 and 14, and there was my older brother, then 15. We had gone exploring a little bit away from the picnic grounds . . .
