Totally agreed! Our property was part of huge farms back many years ago. And what did all the families do? They picked a spot on their land to use as a garbage dump. So what do you think a half acre of my property is? Old ******* glass bottles, tin cans, soda cans, bed frame, even clothes! My mother and I have taken a couple truck loads of **** to the dump a few years ago, and there is still trash up there! I atleast it's in the woods, but I can't turn the horses out in that, they'll get hurt. Hard to get in there with a skid steer cause I don't wanna puncture the tires. We have another prob here, and that is people (a) throwing bottle and cans out the car window, and (b) driving around with trash in the back of their trucks. That garbage blows out and onto the roadways. We live in such a beautiful country and people litterally trash it. We have all the trails behind our house named and one is called the appliance trail for a reason...
Another thing that makes me sick is this last weekend at hatfield. Buffalo mountain was very clean, I don't/can't remember any garbage on the trails. Maybe a stray water bottle that fell off someone's quad, but that is kinda to be expected. At rock house, there were a couple of intersections (where everyone hangs out) that there were bottles and cans all over the ground. You were able to bring it in there you ought to be able to bring it the **** out!!! How hard is that! It really gets my blod boiling. And many of the cans were beer cans, alcohol is against the rules of hatfield, and I don't want those trails, or any other, shut down because you are a ******* drunk and can't wait to have your precious alky at your lodge or campsite. That is just plain ignorance. All it takes in one to ruin it for all.
Imo, hatfield could help matters by putting trash containers (off the ground so animals can't get it) at all the major intersections. We all ride, so we all know what happens at intersections... consult the map, take a breather, stretch the legs, etc. Hatfield employees have to maintain the trails anyway, so why not take the trash out with you. We pay $50 a permit, I think that should be enough to buy trash cans from wally world.
