well, I hate to drag this down but man...this sucks! I just got word from my buddy...and he was pretty upset over the conditions of the trails and bath house. I know groups have been working on the trails over the winter. But, he said they have collected enough trash to fill a regular kitchen trash bag today(monday)...said litter was everywhere. Couldn't take a shower yesterday cause the bath house was a complete mess. Found a condom wrapper,wet & muddy socks left, muddy wash clothes,dozen muddy bars of soap, tissue paper all over the floor and toilets!!!! He's gonna start a thread on NC4x4 when he gets back to tell his side of things. But, for his family to have to see this and ask him about the kind of trash they saw is awful. He said this morning the bath house was cleaned to a T! then when they got back around lunch things started looking bad again, then when they came back for good...it was almost the same as Sun. night. This is a shame, and the worst part is....it's mainly the wheelers doing this. These are the folks that sleep on the trails and come by to use the showers, the wheelers staying at arrowhead, and even the hunters when they are there. We dont need this to turn into some other closure over something as simple as picking up after yourself. That just shows you that folks walk away thinking...."huh, someone else will clean it" and that is true...but do they need to clean that much??? Should anyone have to pick up a condom wrapper?? I'm just letting off some steam, but this ultimately falls on us the wheelers. All I can ask, is that...if you are on this forum(and in this group) you conduct yourself as such and be thoughtful of those things mentioned here. I like URE and Arrowhead! I would hate to lose this place!
