I honestly wish they would. Here it is, the week after Flaming Asshole, and the sides of roads and highways in Northern Nevada are covered in trash. :mad:

I’m not even on a “main route” in or out of the Black Rock, and there is a fucking dusty box-springs and some bags tossed out on my road. And Yes, I **know** its from Burners. The dust is unmistakable.

Fuckers!

Maybe they should consider a fence made out of actual chain. Harder to run through.

On the other hand, there’s a limit to how much you can protect people from a death wish / extreme stupidity.
