    Homelessness [split from Leadville and Salida Ranger Districts]

    Well, up here in the Pacific Northwest, it must be different. I read that 60% of the homeless are chronic drunks, about 32% are druggies, and the rest are just homeless. The people who operate the rehab facilities say that a large majority of both the drunks and druggies discover there are...

    "Even horses produced a certain amount of waste". Except that housewives would see the 'deposit' and run out with a dust pan, scoop it up, and deposit it in the vegetable garden.😁

    Question About Showering on BLM Land

    Reading these posts, for some reason, I thought of septic tanks. They've been around for quite a while, and they're still being installed. People put urine, poop, and all kinds to pharmaceuticals into them. Just a passing thought......

    Keep clean WITHOUT soap!!

    Homelessness [split from Leadville and Salida Ranger Districts]

    The so-called "homeless" people in the news are basically drunks and junkies, with some professional deadbeats included. They aren't the people in this forum. Normal people don't camp in these places, because they are immediately identified as prospective victims.

    Problem towing a trailer

    I was following a pickup with a camper shell today, and it was towing a smallish utility trailer. The trailer was weaving back and forth. I have never seen this problem on the road myself, only in online videos. Two questions: 1) What causes this? 2) What can you do to prevent it?

    You may not have one. I currently have an old 1988 beater Chevy Cheyenne that was put together from spare parts. I received one of those warranty notices a few months ago. Just another donation for the paper recycling bin.
