The scene in my back yard Sunday morning. I made a wise decision to hike on Saturday.
Visit #1569, Saturday 13 December 25, 3:15-4:40PM, 4.0 miles, 5.7 lbs. of litter.
Temps in the 30s, darkly cloudy, with snow developing overnight.
Last week I performed an annual cleaning of the slope behind the playscape. Another annual cleaning I do is the slope below Castle Craig, where people strangely enough like to toss their cans, bottles, and whatnot. My Saturday schedule precluded my typical early morning jaunt so late afternoon, with dwindling daylight, would be all that was available. I also knew that if the forecast was accurate I wouldn't be able to see any litter on the slope if the snow stuck around so I had to take advantage of the ground while I could see it.
Down by Merimere Reservoir I found this jar.
What it says on the top is, "Take A Look- Leave a Remember (sic) Look In Gnome". What it says on the jar is, "Leave Me Something For Someone Else To Find".
Here are the contents.
The coupon was for a free taco from Taco Bell; The pink coin was for a free ice cream cone from Ryder's Ice Cream on West Main Street; the silver coin had the Ten Commandments printed on it, and the multi-colored thing on the upper left was the gnome.
I didn't collect much litter from the slope because I was pressed for daylight.
My keen eyes spotted a candy cane inked on a rock.
More of the endless stream of foam stickers mentioning me. This is just one of many removed today.
Season of the Missing Glove 2025/25, entry #6.
These religious tracts were protected from the impending snow and conveniently resting on a rock.
And I found not one, but TWO unopened cans of Mad Elf Ale. Sorry for the blurry photo. I wonder who they hire to design the can's artwork?
