That bonfire is in the exact same location as the current fire pit. The bonfire pictures below are from the first clean-up fire we had in the forest. Once the dead wood was removed, it exposed the beautiful green moss-covered forest floor you see in the pictures above. With the help of some hard working college students, we spent an entire summer removing fallen trees and branches from all five acres.
