    Found myself at Maumee Bay State Park Lodge tonight while traveling for work. :)

    They have a great wood burning fireplace, and when I got there, it was a pathetic little fire burning.
    I fixed that for the benefit of all the guests. :whistle:

    Here's the after I loaded it pics... I don't think they were expecting any FHC guests...and they had a pile of oak and maple for loading.... :whistle:

    Beats the Holiday inn express... :dancer:We'll see later tonight if they had any creosote buildup that needed to be burned off... :whistle:

    It might be a good legal defense now that I think about it... It's like a brainwashing cult, and no fault of my own... :yes:
    It would make a heck of a Law and Order episode, you guys would all watch it.

    Hotels expect you to take stuff back with you like, soaps, shampoo, etc.... :rolleyes:

    FHC member + lots of wood + open fireplace + a place you don't own.

    What could possibly go wrong???! :whistle:
