It's a tempting thought but no can do. The vegetation is dry and thick enough such that a fire would take off in a hurry. I had a vise grip with me to turn the water valve and dropped it. When I couldn't find my little head-light flashlight I realized I must have left it on my head and flung it off while swatting wasps.

About 20 minutes later I carefully climbed up from below and luckily found them both. There was a thick cover of some sort of morning glory and they could have easily been hard to find. I looked to the area where I think the nest might have been and couldn't see it, the hole in the earth that is.
