Looking to tear something up. Mountaingoat - believe me I know exactly what you mean. I love this state and for people to trash it so recklessly just grates on my nerves. A place I go a lot to take photos is Peachtree Falls which is actually just a couple of miles from this house. But anyway right up from the falls is an area where people are dumping garbage. That makes me so mad I can't see straight. I've written the DNR and the EPA a few times but nobody has ever gotten back with me. They just don't seem to care...

There are so many good people and beautiful old buildings in your part of the world, but regretably there are some trashy morons as well. I remember on the AT, the ATC people would warn hikers to camp or stay in shelters in places too far from the road for idiots with cars and six-packs (and who knows what else) to visit. The shelters accessible to cars were invariably vandalised and degraded; trash was dumped everywhere. That people (presumably) from the local area would foul their own nests like that astounds me. I'm angry now, Denny, and it's only breakfast time! Thanks a lot... Man, that kind of bastardry really p____ me off.

I don't know why people do things like that. I guess not enough people understand the importance of history. That’s so sad. I don’t know why people do things like that.

I think it is a shame. We lose enough of our heritage daily from things apparently beyond our control - self inflicted loss is senseless. Thanks for commenting Bryan. I think it is a shame.

What a shame that somebody would destroy someone's personal property like that, not to mention a place that holds such significance of others as well. It's astounding how little regard for others some people have. At least you've immortalized it to some extent with your photograph, I suppose. Hello, Denny.
