Toilet Paper Flowers

Since venturing from Parry Sound, Jon and I have been encountering fewer cottages and many more camping spots. One of the most beautiful sites was on an island close to the Naiscoot river. We spent much of our time on the island exploring the intricately swirled geological formations of the rocks. To our dissappointment, this beautiful spot was left in a mess. Broken glass bottles, aluminum cans and plastic jugs were left in the fire pit, numerous branches from trees were cut down and a string of toilet paper flowers were left in a little trench on the island. We were both quite disgusted. Both Jon and I try our best to be low impact campers - we pack out what we've packed in. That means that any garbage, food waste and toilet paper is taken out. Often, if there is no fire ban in effect, Jon and I will burn our toilet paper in a small burning can. As campers, it is important to respect our environment. Take only pictures, leave only footprints.
