I must say that it was quite a fire . . . . a bunch of trees, 10 gallons of
diesel and ENFUEGO . . . . we had to keep warding off the neighborhood fire
department, they kept wanting to try out their fire truck, but that would have
left us with one heck of a mess. It took less than 10 minutes for the outhouse walls to burn up to come down and about 3 1/2 hours for the center pole to fall, but the main fire burned for about 22 hours.

This was a month long effort for the entire Olympia Community (our ExxonMobil compound in Yuzhno). Every Saturday in October, the men cut and cleared dead trees on our 200 acre property and then constructed the Bonfire. The outhouse on top has university representation from everyone who lives here. We had a fun chilli cook-off and pot-luck dinner before the burning on October 22. It was lots of fun!
