Reply #3: I've been snorkeling up at Pinecrest Lake

The amount of garbage at the bottom of the lake is disgusting. This time I didn't have a way of collecting the garbage, but I should pack in a couple of garbage bags next time. This time I collected six lures and a bunch of hooks. Next time I think I'll pack out the beer cans and discarded food wrappers at the bottom of the lake.

On the way up to the lake, I saw someone throw a cigarette out of a moving car. Number One: that's littering! Number 2: it's summer. You don't throw a burning item out of your window in the middle of a dry forest.

I am so with you on this. I ALWAYS pack out my trash and dude! I have diabetes and degenerative disc disease. I'm hiking to improve my health, but I REFUSE to desecrate nature.

You are so right!

:mad:

On edit: trash bags probably aren't easy to swim with. I probably need some kind of netted bag.
