 | Comments: |
We were VERY disappointed to find CIGARETTE BUTTS at the summit of MT SHAW! And, I feel even worse that we were not equipped with a glove or bag to pick them up and carry them out :-( We are truly sorry (if it wasn't for the global pandemic, we would have figured something out. First of all- forest fire. But, secondly, just a total disregard for the Leave No Trace :( |
