My last post was weird and I think it got deleted when my computer locked up. Hmmm... might be time for a call to the Geek Squad. Anyway, here is another attempt at a post and hopefully this one sticks. As you may have read in the previous post, Steph and I took a drive up to Great Grandpa Prescott's mining claim to do some trash clean up.
I erroneously thought that the trash heap that we cleaned up was Grandpa's. It sounds like other folks started it and added to it as the years went on. Well, that's all in the past and I'm sure whoever left their garbage up there didn't do it out of malicious intent. I'm guessing they didn't see any harm in it and may have had plans to haul it out someday (but didn't get around to it). I loved going to the cabin as a kid and seeing all the garbage in the heap next to the cabin kinda put a stain on those memories.
I didn't want my family legacy to be one of leaving a bunch of junk behind so Steph and I went to work doing our best to remove the trash. Below are a few pictures we took of our outing.
Right next to the outhouse there was a bunch of plastic that I pulled up. I hope I got most of it.
This is a picture of that main trash area after we cleaned it up. There were a few small pieces left but we got most of the big stuff.

Wonder how much of that trash was left by people who like to stop there and picnic. Been years since we were up there but the last time we were we had to haul a bunch of stuff off people left on the slab.
Monte said Mark paid Bryan to clean up all that stuff. Looks like he didn't get what he paid for. I know when Phillip refiled on the claim after Bryan was paid to keep it up, but let it drop, We hauled junk out before we turned the claim over to the North West Prospecting club. I know when the club has an outing up there they take everything out so the FS don't squack. Sorry you had to be the ones to clean it up. Thanks for doing it. I know Bob would thank you too.
