    As a former ding dong, I appreciate your efforts. In my late teens, we would hike deep into woods, “party all night”; and thought we were doing our part by leaving all the trash in the middle of pit like what you walked into. I am not defending this action, just exposing the ignorance of those who weren’t taught better.

      Years ago I did somebody's Poetry Workshop and part of the writing was chopping your original work down and preserving the meaning.
      Your phrase about "Rocco's birthplace" was like Tom Lehrer's Folk Song Army,
      "The tune doesn't have to be Cleaver,
      and it don't matter if you put a couple extra syllables into a Line
      It sounds more ethnic if it ain't good English,
      and it don't even gotta rhyme!"

    I have a couple things I noticed in this one: (1) yes, it is frustrating that wherever it seems there is easy road access there is often trash left by bozos you are a mensch for cleaning it up. (2) the places you climb to and the footages that you capture with your drone are just jaw dropping. The ethers of the burning forests lend mysticalness and sublimity. You’re such a humble dude and a complete mountain bad ass. Thanks for sharing.

On my miniscule channel, I like to show the cleaning up of trash left behind by others. Hopefully, a trend will start and maybe the backroads will be left cleaner and people won't need to pick up after others.
    Thanks for doing this Foresty 😊
    I loved the rest of the video too. You really show us the awesome views that are out there!

      Only if people learned not to leave trash behind would make things a lot better.

    That mountain with the waterfall snaking down is one of the most majestic things I've ever seen.

    These are the same jerks who toss their garbage out of their truck or car window when driving down the road. I've never understood the mentality of someone who would do that.
    Thank you for all you do, and for all the incredible videos you've entertained us with!
