Night owls, I don’t know if I’m supposed to be furious or sad.
While you were enjoying that groovy tune, one of our park rangers called me. He told me that a bunch of no-good ruffians messed up the beautiful picnic area down near Granite Ridge.
Tonight on KCKR, your community station for all things Ashwood Creek, we’ll talk about park etiquette, and how to behave in Ashwood Creek when you DON’T want to be called out by the local radio host.
Let me set the scene: Dirty picnic bench, trash everywhere. Music blaring from an abandoned boom box. An unsupervised fire. All of the above are incredibly dangerous for our flora and fauna. And all of them were left on Granite Trail this morning. They even carved up some of our beautiful trees!
Now, I hate pointing fingers, but the mix of beer bottles, pop cans, and punk rock makes me think that the truants responsible for this mess are teenagers. This stuff has been happening for years. I remember one time, about 15 years ago, one of our park rangers complained about an eerily similar scene. History is a circle, I guess.
Folks, I’m not going to pretend I’m a saint. I was young once. I was out and about all the time, partyin’. But I’ve learned a lot since then, so lemme give you some advice. The most important thing to remember is: respect nature as much as you want it to respect you back. Think of other visitors, think of the plants, and think of the animals. You don’t want to rile those up. There’s bears roaming around in these parts…
But enough ranting. I don’t want my blood sugar to go up even more. It’s a beautiful morning in Ashwood Creek. You’re listening to KCRK, and here’s another tune!
