Back when I was a kid (!!!), there used to be a public dump about 8 miles away for the use of everyone in the area. As a kid, it was loaded with treasures, and it was always the coolest thing to stop there - and dump 
They definitely tell lots about life and habits.

What a story that says a lot about how humans change an environment and how it impacts the animals! Driving my usual routes this past week I saw 4 fields stripped, development lot signs posted and more solar installations that had been hidden behind trees. Fields were stripped of the rich top soil and carted away (same with trees). I'm betting trees will later be bought from a nursery and the area re-plamted and owners will pay for dumploads of loam for their lawns!

p.6 These are wonderful, Larry. I love how you think out of the box, and then make a "box" to put them in!

p.6 Great contributions. The portrait (#2) is outstanding. Partial to the color peeking from the pavement, and, of course, love the truck being overtaken by nature.

Mud, dirt and sand have long been attractions for humans - especially little humans. It's fun to watch them enjoy the oozy mud, splash - and then hose them down! Adults have their own grown up mud fun. Up here they are called Mud Runs. (I don't have any pix of a mud run)
