Not buttchugging, but getting play out West

It seems like a mountain out of a mole hill at first, but then when you realize the scale of the stuff abandoned it's pretty damn ridiculous.

 

Worse, imo. Buttchugging isn't a crime (go ahead and print up the stickers and T shirts NYY, that ones on the house!!)... Trashing a national park IS a crime.

 

National Forest, but point taken.

 

That's a weird measurement for garbage.

 

Should be in acre-feet, I guess.

 

How the hell did they tote in all that stuff and then just leave it there? Tents included! Hmm...I wonder if drugs and alcohol were involved? Naaaaah.

 

It's on an island in the reservoir, so they boated it in.

 

Yes, but I wasn't really pondering the logistics of it, but more of the "Man, this was a ton heavier when we came in and now it weighs nothing" aspect. Of course, my dad beat me like a rented mule when I was little for throwing a banana peel into the canal we were fishing at near Lake Okeechobee, so it has been drilled into me not to litter or just leave crap laying around.

 

We were allowed to throw fruit bits into the bushes, but they had to be far out of sight and away from paths. The animals will get them.

 

Yeah, fruit and bread were fair game. Anything else got you in trouble

 

It's state law in Alaska that cleaned fish and fish guts be placed in the water, not on land. Keeps the bears from associating people hangouts with salmon. In New Mexico and Idaho, we'd put them on top of bushes and watch hawks and eagles carry them off.

 

Not if you're using a 30 or 40 yard dumpster to haul off the waste.

 

But yard is a linear measurement. Wouldn't a volume measurement like cubic yards/ft make more sense?

 

That's awesome.

There's a bald eagle that sometimes beats the dog to dead ducks on our lease. Whenever it decides to come out, it's a race

 

"Yard" is used alone for volume in most cases.

 

Is it like a cubic yard?

 

I deal with cubic yards a lot doing site work

 

My son is a whiz on a Rubiks Cube - 2x or 3x.

 

This doesn't surprise me. I've seen it before in Townsend. We used to float the river, 6 or 7 of us, all the time with a cooler of beers, having a good time, not bothering anybody. We'd collect our empties and toss in the can at the pick up spot.

Well, eventually the frats and sorostitites figured out this was a good mixer event. One summer of sunk beers cans, littered banks and kids puking in yards ended all of that. It was pretty disgusting. Bottom line is a bunch of college kids get together and they turn into ****ing idiots.

These OU kids probably didn't pay for any of that shit, so who cares right? I'm sure the AXA or whatever is was powers that be are thrilled with the "wanna do blow" cooler. I imagine that went over well.

 

Happens far too often, good spots end up getting very heavy handed with "fun enforcement" because ********s don't understand that cleaning up after themselves is part of the deal. Nothing worse than wandering the woods and finding a fire pit with enough cans scattered on the ground to build a destroyer
