There were two or three people out that day, wearing yellow safety vests and cleaning up litter from the roadside. If my memory is correct, that section of the highway had been adopted in memory of someone; it’s reasonable to assume the people I saw were related to the in-memory-of person.

Anyway, this wagon was partly filled with some of the larger trash they’d picked up that day.
