Buttermilk Falls at low tide
Laurie and I went hiking along a Rails-to-Trails ending at a locally well-know area called Buttermilk Falls. Seems many falls are named Buttermilk falls. Pennsylvania has been hit with little rain in recent times and the flowers and creeks are showing that fact. Normally, in the above photo, water is coming over those rocks on the right, too.
We enjoyed our time together, but we were disgusted at the amount of garbage all over. ATV trails are abundant since these vehicles are not permitted on the trails and gates have been erected, they simply travel all over causing much erosion. Also, they are carrying bags of trash with them and other garbage and dumping it along the trail. One pile of trash was across the creek along a trail and placed as such to be removed when the stream gets a normal flow.

Whatever happened to the concept/slogan, “Keep America Beautiful”? I live in western MD now and am constantly amazed to see garbage carelessly chucked out car windows along beautiful country roads!
I have never seen the people of this great land act well when it comes to garbage and I am getting older by the day.
