Dropping a friend at the Italian Spring Trailhead gave me an excuse to wander – I watched a Nothern Harrier make loops around White Tank and eventually made my way to Race Track Tank. The tank is holding plenty of water – but, as is too frequently the case in the Redington Area, while looking at the tank I came across a disappointing amount of trash…

Hopefully this will change over time – one group who has been actively helping is the Friends of Redington Pass who have already held several clean ups and is planning another one on Nov. 19th starting at 8am – the flyer is displayed below, see this page for more information and to RSVP for the event.
