Trash pickup in the boondocks

In terms of water, propane, and food we can remain in remote areas for almost three weeks before having to return to "civilization."

Our limiting factor is not these necessities but, instead, is our trash and garbage.  After 7-10 days, the challenge of keeping the odors down becomes too difficult.

So today we tried an experiment.  We left this by the side of our camper when we left for today's hike:

When we returned four hours later this is what we found:

What is amazing is that there were probably only about 20 vehicles that went down this road in the time we were hiking.  (That is about 5 per hour during the middle of the day--with fewer in the morning and none at all during the evening and night).

Someone helped us out.  The trash Good Samaritan.  

Thank you, whoever you are!
