Above is a photo of the ultimate non-LNT campsite, found on a Big City Mountaineers backpacking trip in the Wallowa Mountains in Oregon with a bunch of teens from the Youth Employment Institute in Portland. Brendon (guide) had just told the crew they couldn’t set up camp within 200 feet of a water source, and while looking around for a new site, they found this underwater fire ring.
