Went to the park for morel mushrooms

Tweet

Hubby and I went to the park today where my mom had found a morel mushroom a few weeks ago. I was hoping to find some. I walked around a lot on different trails and came up with nothing but I did find things that should not be there. On one of the trails when I went into the woods I found some grilled tomatoes, a sliced green bell pepper, and celery on the ground. And in another area I found a chunk of green cabbage. And here and there there were beer bottles, empty plastic cups from Dunkin Donuts, wrappers, and other garbage. We even spotted two big storage containers. In an area closer to the beach we found metal skewers meant for kebabs and a log that was still burning. There was no fire or flame but smoke was still coming from it. I guess it was recently used. I hope nothing will catch fire from that. People are pigs. All this garbage should be thrown into the trash and not into the woods or onto the trails. It was an unsuccessful mushroom foraging trip but at least I got my steps in walking in the park and even along the beach. I also got some fresh air, which is good. Luckily, it wasn't very hot or very humid, so the walk wasn't that bad. There was even a little breeze, especially by the water.
