Geocache Description:

A cache in a location where lots of people leave a trace!

It's amazing what people do when they think no one is looking.....

This place seems to collect litter at an unbelievable rate.  Most likely because this small road is lined by brush on both sides and out of view.  It get's cleaned up periodically so if it's clean when you visit, come back in a day or two.

While teaching courses in low impact camping I have used this spot as an example of how people use their ethics to make decisions and how it only takes a small fraction of the people making poor decisions to really cause an impact.

This cache does not resemble litter, but please pick some up and take it with you if you can.

There is a Rolex Travel bug for the FTF (or the first one that wants it).  There is room for small trade items.

There are also a few Leave No Trace ethics card (hang tags).  Please take one if you're interested and leave some for others, I'll try to re-stock it from time to time.

There is a pull-off nearby. There is a fair amount of traffic here at times so you might not want to bring very small children.

Please be careful with the cache container, it's not as rugged as it looks.

I'll add a hint after a few finds.....
