In today's #wth... At the trailhead I found a burning fire in a loose "fire pit" and trash strewn about. Not a person in sight.
I was so pissed. There's dry grass everywhere. Got lucky that today's winds weren't as bad as the past few day's.
I dumped my spare water on it and got my avy shovel out of my truck to bury it. #BendWX #PineMountain #Fire #peoplearestupid

@tsherrygeo So many dumbasses out there. I don't miss that part of being a fire warden. People trash the forest.

@tsherrygeo Ugh. I've found more than a few of those still burning up the Cottonwood Canyons in the Wasatch. Still shocked they haven't had a major fire up there given the carelessness.
