Pepsi Forest

 
 Posted by Picasa

Somewhere along northbound Interstate 79 in West Virginia, there is a rest area with a path off to one side leading past some picnic tables and up into the forested hills. Enough wandering will presumably take you to a rustic cabin in a valley echoing with prodigious banjo-picking and perhaps the squeals of a befouled pig.

I was hoping to find some of nature's hidden treasures, but I had to settle for vintage litter, the poor man's Ötzi. How long ago did someone carelessly toss this can into the woods? I can't place the exact timeframe of the can's design, but I'd bet it was back in the days people were stilling buying the Chevy Camaro. My original thought was to say back when mullets were popular, but in West Virginia that particular fashion trend has outlived the Iroc-Z that went up on blocks behind the trailer, around the time (ironically) the Eagles decided to start touring again.

Tree-hugger and rabid recycler that I am, I couldn't bring myself to properly dispose of the Pepsi can. The gravity of so many years spent outdoors held it to the ground, as much a part of the landscape as the moss beside it.
