RE: Campsite Cleanup #7: Undisclosed Location, Where I Really Had No Business Driving My Car

in CCH3 years ago

Seek-and-finds, those books for kids where you have to locate a teeny tiny Waldo mixed up with a hundred poorly behaved vampire guys that are also teeny tiny, that's what these pictures make me think of. Only the man-made stuff is all too obvious in its ugliness mixed in with all the pretty natural textures it is resting on.

We've done several trash clean ups at the waterway here. The intentional human littering is depressing, as is the litter from hurricanes. Still finding huge chunks of styrofoam from floating docks as a result of Hurricane Matthew several years ago.

I'm going through these trash posts, and it is just making me want to go camping. Trash or no trash, alcohol or no alcohol, it sounds nice. Except for the deer legs. That's a deal breaker.

Sort:  

I think some of what I find might be the result of wind blowing through campsites, but I'm also pretty sure most of it is just humans being shitheads. Want to know something interesting I often find hiking out in the wilderness? The remains of mylar balloons that used to be filled with helium. That's where they end up when people let 'em fly.

Those deer legs were bizarre. Strange enough that they were there, even stranger that I pitched my tent right next to them and didn't even see them till after dark. Maybe they actually didn't appear until the night arrived…
