That wasn’t a trail cleanup trip, it was a restoration effort to remove the mess left by a backcountry Marijuana Grow Operation.
There’s another trip on the May 9-10 to clean up a 2nd site about a mile from the first if anyone is interested.

Thanks for that walk around the world guy link. It makes me want to throw everything away and start a similar adventure!
