I went to lake Tahoe and did get the relief of being in the trees I needed, but was really saddened at the quantity of trash everywhere. It is beyond me how anyone could come to such a beautiful place and treat it like a toilet. Beer cans, bottles, cartons, socks, hundreds of cigarette butts, pieces of Styrofoam coolers. And bags of trash, food wrappers etc.

In only 10 minutes without even trying my pack was full of trash to take out with so much more still left on the trail.
