Two summers ago I was finding banana peels by the 2-3 every mile. Then it finally dawned on me that it was the "trash" left from a touring group coming through. About a month later I was counting broken rubber bungie cords all over the place it seemed. That was after a heavy camping/tourist week. Junk tells a story. I've learned to keep a sharp eye out for destroyed tires because the steel cord wire is hard to see and can stick a quick hole in your tire...usually the rear tire, of course.
