Re: Bad Times Despite Great Dives at Crosby
Okay, so vultures could rip open garbage bags, but I agree that if that is the case, the people are still PIGS who would leave the garbage bags there.  Contrary to the belief of some, there really is no "garbage fairy."  Now do vultures also break glass bottles--you see LOTS of that everywhere around the pits and we've noticed it is often added to--AND--most importantly--do vultures shoot firearms?  And what about the human excrement from idiots who don't know how to manage those 'affairs' while away from home?????  Again it's the combination of these occurrences that has continually frustrated us and we're in agreement that it's time for DNR involvement and regulation before that area becomes totally ruined.

In the meantime.....I VERY much appreciate the responses, especially the ideas of Maxfactor, BIO-Diver and Wetdream.  We also bring a couple of construction garbage bags (you can buy them at Menards or Home Depot) up with us.  They are far better as they are huge, bigger than leaf bags, and made from a very heavy mil plastic that resists tears even when broken glass is inside.  We DON't bring them back empty.  Our personal trash usually fits back in a bread bag in our cooler.  Last week before we dove the sight my friends and I did the best we could with what we had to clean it up.  This is pretty typical for us when we find a mess.  I know that there are others out there (divers and non-divers alike) who also clean up trashed sites.  When we went back to town to fill tanks at MSD, we explained to Todd what we had encountered.  Without batting an eye he offered the use of the MSD dumpster for us to deposit the trash as we’ve done before.  We all need to do what we can to keep the area clean.  The idea of writing down a license plate and reporting an individual to local law enforcement who is trashing the place is a great idea also. 
I've attached another photo of the site after we did what we could to clean it up.
