Trash Box ...

Some previous camper left this box full of garbage -- bottles, beer cans, plastic, paper, etc. What's a boy to do? Burn it of course! I thought about picking out the beer cans first, so I could redeem them, but it grossed me out. So what I did, is stack some charred wood from previous campers, some of my own firewood, poured 1/4 gallon of gasoline on it, and tossed a match in. Once the garbage was incinerated, I carefully picked out the aluminum cans, bottles, and other unburnables, and tossed them in my bucket to bring home for recycling.
