TP flowers, fishing line, bandaids, wet wipe wrapers, plastic candy wrappers, map and compass, paddle, fish hooks, tent stakes, para cord, tin foil, half burnt watermelon rind, etc, etc, etc These are just some of the things that the boy and I found on our last trip.  :-? Stuff that torques me...but then I can see the Oaks between Swamp and Sag. and I think that it's really neat-they are there because they were planted by people the same ones that left there "graffiti" that we oogle over and books are written about. "Wilderness" is about perspective...it is interesting to hear the perspectives on this thing. I am sure that I would oogle over hunting blinds and the like in the far north...Maybe it is just the "GROSS" factor...TP flowers are gross...but there is nothing like sitting down in the appropriate place , after that morning cup, listening to the sparrows doing their northern serenade...the relief....the woods and water....just a different perspective. Pond water anyone, its filtered?
