We participated with the scouts in the county cleanup day and even found a whole rubbish dump at the edge of the woods. Somebody must have dumped a whole truck load down the hill and burried half of it. We filled up a complete trailer with that. I reckon you can get much more out of this place.
Just in time for the start of the event, it began pouring down on us. It was very muddy, but still good fun. One cub scout said: “Oh, this is so cool! Walking around earlier on the paths and picking up trash wasn’t bad, but this here is really awesome. I really do enjoy it a lot. Look how much trash there is. Crazy!”
It took me half an hour to hose down all the clay from my rain jacket, -trousers and boots. What a mess.
