Trash Walking Meditation


Cheryl's News From Cascara Campground

Our work day at Cascara begins with walking the campground and picking up trash. The first bit of trash I picked up was a cigarette butt, the first of many. By weight, dog and skunk poop wins the prize for the largest quantity of trash we pick up. That is correct, there are skunks in camp and for some reason they like to poop on the picnic tables. Picking up trash, bicycling the camp a couple times a day, selling wood, answering questions and being a presence in camp is our daily work schedule. It is an easy, carefree life we enjoy, and each day begins with a walking meditation.
