Trash
By Steve Smeltzer

I now see what Jerry Cegelske means. I was down for Christmas,
and took a drive up to Harriet Hunt. I didn't see a whole
lot of the trash as you depicted in Sitnews, but when I reached
the turn-around, some idiots had set up a barbecue grill and
its gas tank in front of the lake and proceeded to shoot it full
of .40 caliber. Trash was strewn all around the area, and
someone had made a fire right in the middle of the parking area,
and broke a few beer bottles in the fire pit, which I narrowly
missed as I pulled into the parking lot/turn around.
You've probably seen this particular
mess already, since the State was cutting along the sides of
the road, and should have informed you, or else your jurisdiction
ends there, whatever, it's disgusting to see that kind of abuse
of the National Forest, not to mention all the lead now in Harriet
Hunt Lake.
