Weary -

Then you are in a unique area.  I pick up others trash from all along the AT
all the time - I fill about a gallon ziploc a day on most of my hikes -
cigarette butts, candy wrappers, etc.  So far that holds true for GA, NC, TN,
VA, WV, MD, PA and NH.  I'll let you know about the other states when I hike
them.

Many, even foot traffic, need education on LNT.
