During my Rutgers Forestry Field Camp class of May 1996, my friends and I would occasionally have a free night and head out to build a huge bonfire on this hill, sit back, laugh, and enjoy life in general. The blaze was visible all the way up to the mansion and the "winter quarters" bunkrooms where we slept. The image of those flames dancing in the darkness was pure enchantment and one of my fondest college memories.
