Litter Barrel

|

Sometimes you find old litter barrels in the woods, from back when Conservation Department had such barrels and they regularly dumped them in dump sites in woods, before they implemented carry-in, carry-out and controlled landfills. This one has been turned into a burning barrel, at this campsite both for warm and disposal at this campsite near Robb Creek and Sacnadaga River.
