Heya Hiva シ
Ready or not, here I come..
-> from bravely entering the dense bush, via pathways previously avoided.
Adventure afoot!
It was a very productive day cleaning around the local wetlands. The warm sunshine and gentle breeze, coupled with a a growing database of personal knowledge, allowed for suitable conditions to expand into new areas previously left alone.
Before..
Cleanup..
After..
The first piece of trash retrieved was that of an empty tub of pouring cream. I found it off a side path into the dense bush.

After briefly exiting the dense foliage (to ensure that I wasn't being followed), I returned to pick up some more litter. Next up was this discarded plastic.

After..
It's always interesting to uncover a lone shoe.. was able to bag it and then move on.

This large plastic wrapping recovered, seems to have been from a pack of alcoholic beverages.

Cleanup..
After..
Buried in the sand was an old sock. After dusting it off, it was bagged with the rest.

Simultaneously looking on ahead, as well as watching over my shoulders.. I managed to get to this plastic rubbish. It was barely within reach. This served as a reminder, that I'd like to acquire some sort of gripping tool in the future.

Cleanup..
After..
Upon my exit from the overgrown path, I spotted some discarded tin foil. Glad to rid the environment of it.

Not long after, a plastic 'gizmo' caught my eye. Whatever it was.. it didn't belong there.

This crumpled plastic retrieved was a lot bigger than it looked. Required a bit of a tug to get it out of there. Looked much better afterwards, though!
Before..
Cleanup..
After..
Venturing back out 'off the beaten track', I came across an array of nasties. What creeped me out the most was the empty littered pill cards.

Cleanup..
After..
Being in a curious mood, I decided to try out the start of the riverside trail.. feeling uneasy, I was still able to grab this piece of plastic on the way out.

I chose to empty the trash collected, in the municipal bin near the local park. I would definitely call this Clean Planet adventure a great success!
Till next time,

Does the riverside trail have a bad past?
Whaddup. I like your photo layout today, sir. Seeing your before and after in the same filter helps us glasses wearers out a lot.
@brandt, ma3str0. Ma3str0, brandt.
Hey buddy @dandays ..The 'Brigantine River Trail' is a 2km long trail, entering from the area I frequent (around the local wetlands) - venturing much deeper into the bush. When a cyclist (brutally stabbed) was found (some years back), the jogger who spotted him (shortly before his passing).. reportedly ran up to 'Brigantine' road. The name of the trail and proximity implies a overall connection between the areas. It's remoteness and that connection freak me out as a result!
Lol.. whoever's is a good mate of @dandays ..sounds like a potentially cool mate to me, and as a result would be dope to make his/her acquaintance.
Oh yes.. glad you like the new layout. I kinda like the idea of retaining a black & white element, but at the same time.. the before and after images were freaking out my eyes too lmao.
I like it. B&w to color or vice versa usually works well. Who'da thunk picturing garbage needs to be in color for the full effect...
Brandt's been away for awhile. We all take breaks occasionally, my longest was 7 months. He and I have shared meals together in and around the Appalachian Mountains. One of the few virtual strangers I've had the pleasure of hanging out with in real life and one of the few people who follows me I consider a friend in real life.
And funny as fuck too! I don't hang out with boring mufukers. = }
Had to do an internet search for the 'Appalachian Mountains' - wow, looks incredible! Did either of you ever do any of the trails? I reckon there must be some legendary ones out there! All this talk of food has made me hungry lmao..
He and I barely brushed one trail out at Fort Dickerson Quarry.
It was usually timing that fucked with us or we'd just get into talking and then be so interested in each other time flies and the day is over.
Did that twice.
That looks wild! When you say "barely brushed one trail" ..completely understandable, after seeing this!
I have ventured many of them solo. Filmed a couple downhill mountain bike videos on them actually, if you're interested. They call this part of the world the "mountain bike Mecca."
He's a crazy outdoor adventure marathon guy who like lives and survives for months at a time in the middle of nowhere until eventually finding the finish line or however it works. So, individually, yeah, we've spelunked many of them. Together, however, unfortunately none.
One dude on here said something to the affect, you guys at a table together? I would've loved to be a fly on the wall for that conversation. Still one of the nicest things anyone's said to me on here.
Thanks for the ping @dandays, but this dude needs to talk with @otherbrandt, not me ;)
Like putting diesel in a red can, oops, I mixed you up with yourself.
Hi. Is this the part where I set someone's barn on fire?
