Trashy Firepits, Leave No Trace, Paleeeese!

Just got back from the Sisquoc, 2 nights at Lonnie Davis. The CCC cleaned up all three sites and raked back all the duff from the fire pits. My pet gripes... garbage in the fire pit that people think burns, but in fact does not. Lots of Starbuck's Via instant empty packets is what I was digging out of my camp fire pit at Lonnie's. Half burned huge tree branches...people feed them into the fire like it was some kind of chipper, then they give up, leaving a smoldering mess. Leave no Trace is like religion. Simple concept, but oh so easy to sin!
