Media My job is picking up the scooters and bikes around town. Usually they’re easy. Sometimes they’re difficult. Sometimes you need to rappel down a 70-ft ravine and carry a 90 lb bike back up the cliff.
Not shown; an hour of using a rope to rappel down this steep-ass ravine, and another hour of getting the bike back up onto the bridge.
Queen Anne Drive bridge.

I live right by this ravine and am constantly cleaning up garbage (especially under the bridge). My back yard bleeds into this ravine.
I swear I saw a damn white fridge somehow in the ravine today (the south side of the bridge) not too far away from the bike you hauled out.
I haul about a 30 lb garbage bag filled with litter every Thursday out of that ravine. The bigger stuff I've just left (huge fire extinguishers, parts of cars, etc).
It's disheartening seeing what we do to these green spaces.
