Took the boy scouts on the Katy Trail and camped at Klondike. Park was great, HOWEVER, they do NOT tell you that you have to bring your own wood and the Ranger was quite obnoxious about it!

You should have your Second Class rank pulled. Remember, it carries the Boy Scout Motto, "Be Prepared". Sounds like you weren't and assumed you could take what you forgot and didn't belong to you.

But everywhere you go they are telling you not to carry firewood from one place to another, due to ash borers. mh ia

Missouri Dept. of Conservation will sure tell you that. I think Klondike is a County park. Maybe there are no ash trees in the park.

Carrying your firewood from St. Charles to St. Charles is not a problem. If there were invasive insects in the area, they'd eventually make it to Klondike park.

The big reason behind not moving firewood is to keep people from bringing firewood from, say, their campground in Minnesota or Illinois down to Missouri, or from southeast Missouri to St. Louis.

According to dontmovefirewood.org, moving firewood 10-15 miles is probably not too risky. Moving it 50 miles is.
