Yup, a hell of a mess in the usual spots.

Yes people litter. It sucks. Feel any better now, after making your list? I don't get it... That is like a lifetime of what you may have come across. I'll take some of those items if you happened to have picked them up. I'll just add, a lot of that sounds unintentional. Unsecured cargo. It happens....

You lost all of that in one trip? Nice.

Wish I'd been in the trailing position. I could use some of those items from previous trips of my own.

Seriously,

We know it happens, so round up your buddies and your kids. Go on a garbage gathering trip and have a bbq for whoever helps out.

Help a bit.

Of course we know it happens and people get together to clean it up, but it gives traction to those out there who want to restrict our access. We don't need that.

You missed the green net and the outboard motor brace.
