Clean-up

I spent Saturday morning covering a clean-up event in Michaux State Forest for the local paper. The stuff people will throw away into a mountain is gross, let me tell you.

After about an hour of just interviewing, I got involved in the fun (it is enjoyable, for any doubters who've not tried it). I found the usual: soda bottles, a paper bag from McDonald's (likely from an abandoned picnic) and empty cigarette boxes.

As I was picking up one empty Coors can, I took note of a phrase and jotted it down:

"Don't Mess with the Mountain -- Please Recycle!"

If only they'd read the can.
