Yikes, the last day the North rim is open and the trail is full of runners.  One of them was dangling a bunch of bananas from one hand, and when I said, "I hope you will be carrying the peels out", he ignored me.  Then I found one below O'Neil, so I guess not.

Also picked up a goo block.  Can't stop to pick up anything we drop, because it might take 15 seconds off our rim to rim time.

If we have banned plastic water bottles in the Park, why can't we ban Kleenex?  Can't even blame that one on the runners.  Usually it is ladies.  They can't stand for their nose to run, and they won't put up with bandanas or handkerchiefs because they are "unsanitary" so it is blow and throw. 

Also a huge pile of human feces just within sight of the Chimney.  We find a lot of this during running season: coincidence?  If they were serious, like bike riders, they would go in their shorts. 

On a positive note, the sunrise was beautiful and the weather is lovely.  After yesterday's hard rain, the dust was down and the air was clear.
