Many of us who love and protect the Deep Creek environment try to pick up trash at the springs and on the trails leading in and out. An extension pick up tool is most helpful at getting those cigarette butts, beer cans and other small pesky items that are indicative of the presence of "humanus doofus," the common litter bug.
Normally, those tools cost from $15 to $25 in hardware stores, but I recently found a very useful version in the "99 Cent Only" stores for..... you guessed it, 99 cents.
I thought you just might be interested.
Cheers
