I saw a
pic. on this
Forum of a guy happily hand washing his car and camper trailer in the middle of a waterway (not you Mick O- that's unavoidable). Got me thinking as to how inconsiderate that is.
Same as people washing up their eating plates & utensils (using heaps of detergent) in a pristine mountain stream.
Then there's those who 'do their business' in a creek.
I know we all object to the visual things that pollute our favourite
camp sites (cans, wrappers, poo-tickets, bottles etc)..
But I guess when 'stuff' gets washed down the river- who's going to care??

Hi Signman
I would wash my car in river with due care and
consideration and no chemicals.
Usually its a matter of throwing some water over
the windows, more so I can see and drive safetly
than trying to clean the car.
I have looked at the aspect you refer to though and
much more sediment is stirred up by charging across a
river than washing off some clean dust which has
often been collected from adjacent tracks anyway.
I'd be more concerned by taking a known oil-leaker thru such rivers.

I am with you Robin,
Have done it in the past and hopefully I will have opprotunities and the need to do it again.
No soap and no oil leaks. Just good clean dirt.
