I will never poke fun at Pennsylvanians again ~~ here's why...

Several years ago I had the opportunity to fish the fabled waters of the Little J and Spruce Creek. On the Little J I was shocked at the amount of garbage left of the banks of famous waters. I had looked forward to that experience for months ~~ only to be disappointed by the condition of the banks of the river.

Fast forward to Monday of this week...

I took my daughter and a friend to our denomination's camp in the Sequoia National Forest. While I was in the area I decided to take the afternoon and fish the Kern River. I had never really fished the Kern ~~ just looked at it as I drove by. When I stopped at a fishable spot in the river I was shocked at the amount of garbage left in the campgrounds. It was 100 times worse than the Little J. Bottles, broken chairs, dirty diapers, even a broken gas grill ~~ and not just in one area ~~ the mess was everywhere.

I repent of my sin and ask all Pennsylvanians to forgive me ~~ have mercy on me.
