Moutoux Park (off St. Joe on the north side) is one of the more unknown Evansville parks. Mostly known for soccer fields, it does offer a few other amenities -- including a large lake with a hiking trail around it.
"I see litter as part of a long continuum of anti-social behavior."
-- Bill Bryson
Yes, being a secluded lake where people fish, drink, and god knows what else, litter is a problem.
So, today was another "adopt a spot" trash pick up. It's a shame that I made it only 1/8th around the lake before I filled a large trash bag full of discarded beer cans, styrofoam drink cups, and plastic live bait containers.
I don't know if anyone will appreciate it, but the fox that I saw down at the creek looked up at me and we seemed to have a moment.
Speaking of having a moment. From the "and god knows what else department": They say every object tells a story. But, latex gloves and a condom? Really? Sorry, there are just some things I won't pick up.
