Horse Poop

I'm not a big horseperson.  By that I mean I've never really wanted to own one.  I love horses, though, and appreciate their majestic beauty. I've ridden horses several times. However, as a hiker, I'm not especially fond of horse poop.  Yesterday there must have been a big equestrian event on the Grand View Trail; and while I have nothing against horseback riders, I wish there was some way for them to clean up the fecal mess their mounts leave behind.  I know that's an unreasonable expectation, but we had a pretty crappy hike this morning because of them.

I don't think you've ever mentioned that, Scott, but we've had similar experiences. In fact, one of the prettiest trails in the Sacramentos, the Salado (the lowland way up to Bridal Veil Falls) is completely covered in cow flop. Disgusting.
