Hard to understand why folks can't haul their trash home with them. I have a hunch that their homes are left in the same condition as they leave the outdoors.Thanks for the kindly comments. Not sure I could handle an overload of blessings anyway.
I never sneeze to be demazed at how slovenly some otherwise decent people are. Had a situation at the Knolls one time when I saw two guys throwing things out of the back of their pickup onto the ground. I stood up to my full height and assumed my menacing big-guy stance and made them pick it all up and remove it from the area. I followed them all the way out to Redwood Rd. I was armed but glad they weren't...and I didn't have to make that part of the equation. With all the wackos "carrying" these days it can be dangerous to confront someone. Either that or they might cough or sneeze on you.
As I'm sure you remember, we anglers lost the use of the Knolls for a while because of trashing. And Lincoln Point has been off limits for quite a few years for the same reason. DWR has worked with the land owners at the Knolls to get limited access again...and have been instrumental in Utah County buying up the Lincoln Point area. But our continued access to both those areas is likely to be predicated on the public not turning them back into trash dumps.
