Never let it be said my husband doesn’t keep life interesting.
The other day was picture perfect. Clear skies, bright sunshine and fabulously moderate temperatures in the low 70’s. The kind of day that lends itself to outdoor adventures.
So when my spouse told me to get dressed because we were taking a ride up the coast, I was thrilled.
But I should have known better.
Oh, we drove up the coast…
But not to a scenic coastal village.
No…
.
.
My husband took me to the dump.
.
.
But not just any dump.. the huge, drive your truck in and throw absolutely anything under the sun away dump… which for him consisted of the old front porch he’d just torn down.
.
.
Lucky me.
The place recently implemented a hard hat rule so I had to stay in the truck and missed being narrowly hit by flying trash.
.
.
As you’re dumping, they’re pushing the refuse back with bulldozers … which can get a little hairy.
And oh…
Did I mention the smell?
Let’s just say it wasn’t the beach rose and crisp ocean air I was expecting.
😳

River's world..... 
Gaahhh…. the smell of the dump still haunts me from my… teens??

Oh I am so sorry. But as I was reading this, I was getting all excited to hear somewhere nice you had been and then when you revealed, I just burst out laughing. Oh my. I just wasn’t expecting that.

We were once invited to stay at a friend’s cabin in the mountains – the only caveat being we had to drop all our trash and theirs at the local dump on our way home. Suffice it to say, we didn’t go back! But then, I’m not really a cabin in the mountains kind of gal.

I’m totally a mountain girl… so that must have been a bad dump.

I think you should have your own hard hat – maybe for your birthday 😉

I was hoping you were going to say there was an area to pick through items and you found some unique stuff.

No.
This is not a dump for picking…

The place where I work is literally less than a half mile down the road from the city landfill. You get a strong breeze on a clear day and you definitely know it! That and the ginormous trucks coming and going from there all the time. Sorry your trip along the coast wasn’t what you thought!
