Feels more like a grocery store parking lot than a trail now. The whole point of getting out there is gone when you're just standing in line.

Is it really that big a deal though? Sure the smell reminds you of the old days, but those bucket dredges were messy and loud. Oil leaks were a constant headache and the fumes could get rough in tight spaces. I get the nostalgia thing, but cleaner air and less noise seems like a pretty fair trade to me.

But how much does one person really change things? Big factories and power plants seem like a bigger deal than what's on your plate. Feels like we're just picking the easy target instead of the real problem.
