You Can See It From Space - Update

Read Part One Here.

On Sunday, I went back to the Desplaines River in the Forest Preserves. The wildflowers were really pretty including a few trillium. Decided to check on the river banks on the Maywood side.



And this is what we found - a new illegal contractor dump. Looks like someone had their bathroom done. The primary ingredients are drywall and masonite but there's also a sink and some chain link fencing in there. It's infuriating. People think they have the right to do these awful things. The property owners need to secure their property and control access to the river bank.


It's a U-Haul business that backs up against the river. Time to get on the phone with the powers that be and start getting some fences built. At least they can put some signs around.

The only thing that made me happy was a tribe of six turtles sunning themselves on some logs.
