jdown Report post Posted November 18, 2022 I mentioned this in an earlier post but to the point of your video - we saw more garbage and established trails this year than any year previous. Not just in pick up points where you find a pile but literally everywhere we hiked. So to cover miles and miles of back country with garbage - tells you the amount of people that must be coming through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There used to be volunteer 'ranch trash pick-up' days on occasion, way back in the old days. Used to drag my kids down there to participate when they were younger. Does anyone know if that is still happening on any kind of regular basis? Unfortunately, even when filling-up large containers with trash it was hard to make much of a dent, but still curious if that is still going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On that same trip.....we got buzzed by a green chopper while glassing from a high point and we got buzzed by a chopper at night while in camp. And to your point....the amount of people to create that much garbage in the rugged terrain of that area............incredible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Call them in but get out of the area first so your vehicle isn't associated with the call. They keep notes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
