I’ve got no issue with people enjoying the outdoors. For the most part, I encourage it. The outdoors has always done something for me and I think people should enjoy it.
But here’s my issue. Why on earth would you go somewhere so idyllic, so perfect like this and WRITE ALL OVER THE BENCH. This is my problem with the outdoors. Well, part of the problem. If it’s not defacing something beautiful, it’s leaving rubbish/camp fires/clothing/tampons and everything else you could even imagine on the trail (I think we’ve seen it all and I’m lucky in that my dog, unlike most, will not investigate the things left lying around). I live for the outdoors. It’s here I spend the majority of my time, showing Cooper the world and what’s in it while also falling in love with what nature offers. For some people, it’s somewhere to trash, find humour in destroying and just trying to ruin and my question is WHY?
These things upset me most days but I’ll be honest, seeing this today has tipped me over the edge. And the mental thing, I know that SO many people here will agree with me.
