Ice Age Trail — Attraction in Janesville

All right in the middle of the trail. So you say, walk around...well yes, I did...however with winter and snow, all that needs to happen is for an inch of snow to fall, covering the poop, and one might step, snow shoe, or cross country ski right through it!

It horse owners don't want to carry a shovel, then I suggest a mere garden spade would do the trick to flick the poop off the trail and into the brush or woods! Spread the word please...and please...
