North America
Rockhouse Basin, California, USA
Report Submitted by:
Rick on August 8, 1998
Location:
Rockhouse Basin Trail, Domelands Wilderness, Sierra Nevada
Reported Problems:
Lots of fishermen trash at the Kern River, the trail vicinity
is quite trashy (especially 20 feet on each side). I picked up 2 shopping bags
full of trash from one campsite, including a pair of pants, lots of broken glass,
and aluminum from the fire pit. The area needs a lot of care as it seems to attract
alot of people (fishermen and scouts).

Mount Baden Powell, California, USA
Report Submitted by:
Rick on August 29, 1998
Location:
Pacific Crest Trail, Angeles National Forest High Country, Vincent Gap to summit
Reported Problems:
I picked up 1 trash bag of debris from the summit, and that was only on the west side of the mountain
top. The trail vicinity is pretty clean; the scouts have done well keeping such a popular trail
debris-free! There still may be trash at the summit, check the south slope (I didn't get to that side).No fire pits at the summit.
