Sloan Canyon

Went out to Sloan Canyon today for an impromptu trail cleanup.  Sloan Canyon is just south of the strip (Las Vegas) and well situated in BLM, so the general area is popular with shooters.  Unfortunately, it’s become a complete waste land of of computer monitors, shotgun shells and general trash 🙁    So, I made a day trip out of it: moved the Trasharoo over from my old rig, did some target shooting, hit some trails and picked up a couple garbage bags full of old cans, shells and plastic bottles.
