As these things go, this one was typical: Someone nearby finds a quiet spot out in the A state forest just off a back road and dumps trash at no cost and without penalty to him. The next irresponsible person who drives by sees the trash and follows suit. Pretty soon you have an eyesore in the backwoods that hikers, cross­ country skiers, and trail runners have to confront every time they traverse that section. Cornell student Carlos Miguel Rymer decided to do something about this particular dump site. He organized a cleanup date, enlisted CTC member and trail adopter Herb Engman to bring his pickup, and brought two other volunteers along to help. The small group loaded the pickup three times full of trash and dropped those loads at the county transfer station. They moved a portion of the stuff from the backwoods area to a nearby road junction for the Danby authorities to pick up. There . aren't a lot of people who would have taken on a disagreeable chore like this.
