Just 44 Steps

one way between beach bench and garbage can (see red arrow).

Five beer cans, three bottle rocket packages, eight bottle rocket sticks and three trips for a total of 308 steps there and back.

I know the number because I counted as I cleared someone else's junk before two young girls and their parents came to swim.

Sometimes I pick up the trash, but I confess that even I don't remove everything. Yesterday, for example, I left the used condom in place at the edge of the parking lot.

Happily, the Odonates don't seem to mind (even if I do).
