As one who has worked as a maintenance employee for my local parks dept for the past 18 years, I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see your story. The park I work at has all types of activities, and all types of people, good and not so good, that utilize our facility. You cannot begin to concieve the depths of disrespect that humans exhibit in public venues to both nature and to our fellow citizens. I have not seen it all, but I have seen a high percentage of it.

The park I work at has all types of activities, and all types of people, good and not so good, that utilize our facility. You cannot begin to concieve the depths of disrespect that humans exhibit in public venues to both nature and to our fellow citizens. I have not seen it all, but I have seen a high percentage of it. It is truely refreshing to know that some people do make a difference, rather than saying 'thats not my job' or 'I'm a taxpayer, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't have a job'. And I have heard and been told much worse.<br />

Oh yea sweep the dock and get all the leaves and pine needles. Theres always tons of kids running around barefoot and I would hate to see them snag a toe in a nail or a loose board.

Good on you, Rob, both as a sportsman and as a parent!<br />

(When I get the chance to teach youth fishing classes here in Nebraska, I remind them to always take along a grocery sack so they can leave their fishing spot cleaner than they found it. For some reason, people who pick up litter rarely litter themselves. :) )

What a thoroughly enjoyable read.<br />
<br />
My father and I have had a tradition over the years. We go to a lake called Conestoga in March--when we know it's too early to have much luck--and my Dad always brings a heavy-duty-extra-large trash bag. On the way back to the vehicle we walk slowly along the dam and the dozens of other fishermen bring the trash up out of the rocks. It either brings out the best in folks, or maybe even shames a few, but the effect is the same.<br />

If I was king, there would be mandatory jail time for purposely throwing trash on the ground and double penalties for discarding line and plastic worm bags in fishing areas. What are these idiots thinking?

nice job guys!!<br />
i too believe in leaving a place in better condition than what it was , plus it helps to always police the area, old farmers are pretty picky about who they let fish their ponds
