Poop!?


This past morning I decided to start the day with a leisurely on one of the local trails just out my back door. My trail companion “Tucker” and I started our hike up the block till we reached the trailhead. The sight of an empty parking lot brought a smile to my face. We stopped at the main trail sign and checked out the map to plan our route. Just below the map was another sign asking to please pick up after your pet along with a PVC tube containing green plastic waste bags. I we took a bag with us and went on our way. About ¼ mile in we saw a green bag containing pet waste tied up and placed on the side of the trail. About 20 more yards up hill we saw another bag. In total on my Hike I counted about 5 separate bags of dog waste sitting either along the trail or thrown into the bushes. What is the good of picking up after your pet if you are going to leave it? This is not the first time I have seen pet waste on the trail and unfortunately probably not the last. Please be considerate of others!  

I didn't have a camera with me to take any photos so here is one of Tucker sleeping

I have seen this that I am a Vol Trail Steward. People will clean up after their dog and leave me a bag full of s@&t.
