Rudi and Bob

Bob and Rudi never set out to a book, let alone a trilogy. Their task as hand was much simpler: A 30-minute campfire talk to a dozen or two campers at a remote swamp campground. | Before Phones Movement | Our supporters | Our adversaries | Main campfire

Intro - The original campfire

And How it Spawned a Campfire Talk, then a Trilogy

By Campfire Park

Writing a book is hard enough ...

But not as hard as trying to co-author a trilogy.

It all started with a half-hour talk

Especially when all you set out to do was a half-hour campfire talk. The occasion: It was the run-up to the 100th birthday of America's National Parks. The venue: a remote campground in the heart of south Florida's Big Cypress Swamp. The result: About a dozen people showed up. That didn't stop up from doing the talk about a dozen times, and eventually writing a book, then a trilogy and now this website. Did I say we? Sometimes (actually most of the time) I wondered where Rudi was.

Campfire Park.

And so a website was born.

As for the original books, at this point they almost seem like an afterthought.
