    will post photos later..but here's what I've picked up on the last few rides
    SART River Bed...gu packets, food wrapper and a beer bottle cap...best brew cap yet...has a big A on it..anyone?? (yes I know)
    Aliso...about 50 cigarette buts near TOW..not too far from the trash can..say 25 feet, plastic bottle caps (4), food wrappers, a hard plastic bottle of Zipfizz liguid shot, yellow plastic?? and a purple rubber glove...very odd
    will post photos when I get the chance...just when I thought the trails were looking cleaner....and the SART River Bed...a total mess..could spend days there.. :(
    Oh..and a Cheetos bag at my local park today while testing some cockpit changes...local kids for sure!!
    A few match books a various places as well

    Too hot in the interior for visitors.
    Only a broken bottle holder from someone's crash. Instead of picturing the usual dirt I added the coast as a background. Welcome relief from the heat!!

    You guys have nothing on the slobbish arseholes who live up here. I collected this little lot from an area I cleaned up earlier this year. The trash was the same: shotgun cartridges and beer cans. WTF is wrong with people?

    There were a number of the fairer sex that were definitely added pleasant scenery ;)

    There was very little trash...we until I got the the Ridge Park side and came down No Name Ridge...easy access makes easy trashness..lots of bottles and the soles of some shoes...

    The top of NBTD...ranger said they put "4 tons" of stuff there

    Finally found some trash at LaCosta preserve, not actually on the trail but in the parking area. I looked for the tube but it eluded me, some of you guys are really good at spotting stuff...impressive work.

    Thanks to all who participate.

    Climbing Uptown Trail

    IMG_3833 (Small).JPG

    I'd walk a mile for a Camel (If I could get out of this wheelchair)

    IMG_3834 (Small).JPG

    I continued to climb into the cold-cold clouds. Snowed that night
