  • Unattended campfire at a campsite along the Carrigain Notch Trail near EB&L Railroad’s Camp 20 in the Pemigewasset Wilderness in the New Hampshire White Mountains. When I came upon this campsite, the fire was still burning under the rocks of the fire ring, and the camp was vacant. I put the fire out and stayed at the site for over 30 minutes to make sure the fire was out. This is poor leave no trace practices.
