DCR, I had considered later that the idea of a sign at the springs might not be the best thing. I will try to contact the appropriate Forestry person who would be responsible for the Forestry parking lot ( maybe Brad Burns ) and see what thier feelings are about the idea of a trash bin at the Forestry parking lot. They may very well not want to take on the responsibility of removing the trash from a bin like that. I'm also wondering if a bin might start being considered by visitors as just an easy dumping point for thier trash so they don' t have to carry it up to the Bowen Ranch to thier cars. I know this will certainly happen to some extent. I was really meaning the bin to be a drop off point for trash considerate vistors have picked up at DCHS. It could be written on the side of this bin that this is why its there but it is clear that some folks will ignore this intent and see it as an easy place to dump thier own trash. I let you know what I find out from the forestry people. If they show interest in this idea on some level then we can consider what type of material this bin should be made of.
