Leave no trace


I went backpacking this weekend, and I want to let you know, I practiced "leave no trace" philosophy. The philosophy states that if you venture out into the wilderness, you should have so little impact on the environment that people could not tell that you had been there at all, leaving the world in the pristine condition you found it.

I proudly proclaim doing my part in "leave no trace". At the trailhead I parked my car over a Mountain Dew can sitting in the middle of the parking stall. We were gone for two nights. When we got back to the car, we slowly pulled out, leaving the can in the same pristine shape that we found it in.

No one could tell we had been there!

Thank you for leaving the great, God-given wilderness just as you found it. I long for a chance to go hiking and enjoy the view of a Mt. Dew can in it's natural state. All I can say is...was it diet or regular.

Blessings my friend,
