After a medium storm event, this is Yadkin River as lake slows flow. Just had a 14+" event (really bad stuff). Haven't been up river because the Corp Engineer closed all the accesses.
Used to be everybody up here and the surrounding mountains used the creeks/rivers to dump trash. It was handy and the crap rolled down out of the pickup easily. We have free to cheap county deposit bins now, all are attended. Cost less than $1 to get rid of 4 30gal trash bags.
But the creeps persist dumping, it's a white trash thing. There is a meth trailer/shack 647 yards from my porch. The "tribe" that come and go there don't worry about tossing anything out on the road...except their government checks.
