I agree Kevin. A bunch of garbage stuck in the front of my waders by the end of a day of fishing is a good thing - wish everyone would do this. My 4 and 9 year old boys are always coming up to me (real proud) and saying, "Look what I just picked up!" Last weekend we visited a campsite for the second time in a short period by the N. Fork Teanaway and they noticed that it looked much better than the first time we pulled up there... that's what it's all about.
I also think it's great that Worley Bugger is doing this cleanup. Although I can certainly see the PR and marketing in it, it's still a darn good thing that they're going to all the trouble. -tight lines (and clean streams)- Jim Speaker -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 12:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Yakima "Clean-up" Day well its good to see that you have a clean up day like this. when im outdoors my philosophy is as follows: take only memories and pictures...leave only footprints. and always leave the place i visited cleaner then when i got there... i always end up back at the car with stuff in my pockets that ive picked up during the day...a can..a wrapper...some cig butts. if we all did that everytime we are out...there wouldnt be any litter! my truck might be a little messy at times...BUT NOTHINGS GOING OUT THE WINDOW!!! i remember one incident when i was 21...my cousin threw a gum wrapper out the window on a rural road....i stopped... told him to go out and find it! or bring me 2 gum wrappers back if you cant find that one! well he was out there looking for 10 mins...i said ok ..got the message? he did....and to this day he still does...25 yrs later!!!! ive never been at a campround that i didnt leave cleaner then when i arrived....even if it was only a bottle cap i picked up! maybe im this way cause i grew up in the big city....and all there is is litter? its pretty windy in chicago...and i really dont care to watch papers and wrappers blow by! less then 90 days to go here!!! kevin
