Tuscarora State Park (3-May-2016)

With the tire removal and two hikes yesterday, I wasn't up for much today. Headed over to Tuscarora State Park for a short hike and lakeside clean-up. I knew there would be more trash even with cleaning the shores by kayak not long ago. I hit some of the most heavily used areas near the lake and as I expected there was trash.

Fishing line. On the bank, in branches and wrapped around sticks. Picked up a lot of it. It is not heavy, it will fit in a pocket, so why is it so hard for people to take this out with them and dispose of it properly?

A couple of the few old items I found on this walk. They have most likely been on the lakeside since the early 90's.

Do you remember Crystal Pepsi? 

Fishing line also around a rock. 

These hooks were still in good condition. They may get some use in the future. 

Can you see the flip flop? I almost missed it.

Full 2 pack of Oreos. Who wants them?

It was overcast, yet the lake was nice and clam with the sounds of bird calls echoing across it.

This was everything. Close to a full pack and grocery bag. Was only shooting for a full pack so I did meet the goal of the day. Will be back to doing a larger clean-up tomorrow. 
You too can help with taking out the trash! If you get out hiking take a grocery bag with you, give it a second use and fill it with trash while you are out! Every bit helps. You can also help contributing to this project here: Help Fund Taking Out the Trash
