Took my nine-year-old grandson on his first 4 wheeler trail ride riding his own machine last weekend. Pulled in to a little remote lake out in the middle of nowhere. Garbage everywhere, and guess what I forgot. Extra trash bags. However, it was an excellent opportunity for an object lesson: teaching him to respect the sanctity of the outdoors was much easier with all that garbage laying around for a visual aid. I usually pack extra trash bags for just that reason; I always put our own garbage in my rack bag for the trip out.
