Seriously, is oral hygene so important these days that one has to floss their teeth while out on a hike?We see these plastic tooth flossers littered everywhere - in town, on the popular rec trail, and even deep in the woods away from any parking lot. My second trail pet peeve is finding used, green plastic bags for dog poo. Come on! If you took the care to clean up after your dog, wouldn't you pack the package out, too? My husband's biggest hiking pet peeve is finding orange peels on the trail; I'm still not sure if citrus peels are compostable. At least we didn't find abundant, used condoms during this hike, like we did behind La Sapienza's botanical garden in Rome!
Apologies to my blog followers! This post has undergone numerous revisions in the past day considering almost everything - from online arrogance to my frustration with not being able to find the information I want - has rubbed me the wrong way.

That is disgusting! I'm so glad that I see very little of this on my hikes. Arkansas carries very stiff penalties on littering on protected lands. I don't understand why people cannot carry a simple garden spade and dig a small hole. It takes less than 5 minutes!
