Musings From a WDR (west desert rat)
Why does the GP (general population) have to be so trashy? I have bags of trash, old shotgun shells, clay pidgeons, empty water bottles and beer cans from my favorite campsite. Why do I do this? So I can come back here to a clean site. But every time I return, it is the same; trash and garbage everywhere. Ok, so you had sex, carry your condoms out yourselves! Really, people! Diapers? Hello? Trash impacts animals, birds. The stuff you leave contaminants not only the scenery but also the animals. And you weren’t here long ago. I put out one of your campfires when I arrived. You left it smoking, logs overhanging the edge of your fire pit.
Don’t mistake me, I also use the desert. I enjoy coming here for peace and solitude, which the desert provides in ample abundance, particularly on the weekdays. But I don’t think my main job is to clean up after you. You who are so vocal when the government limits access to the land, why are you not so careful to take care of the land? My Goshute friend says you can always tell when “white folks" have been here. Look at the trash. It’s disgusting. Plastic plates, beer cans, etc. litter the landscape. Beer cans don’t burn, folks. They stay in the pit where you tossed them; Bud Light seems to be the flavor for this year. Oh, and don’t forget Pepsi. Why? You had enough room to bring it out with you, cannot you take it back? Your home trash removal will not cost you a dime more to empty out your crap.
