I guess this is sort of a half rant/half rave.

The rant:  If you've rode the Mt. Vernon trail regularly over the past 
couple of months around the two bridges near the Crystal City junction, 
you have probably noticed the glass that has been intentionally strewn 
across the bridge several times.  Fortunately, I haven't blown a tire, 
but that is really annoying.  The last time I knew it was intentional. 
When I rode through Tuesday morning, it appeared that the low-life(s) 
had strewn the broken beer bottle glass in a line to make sure it went 
across the entire trail in several places.  I exited the trail at 
Crystal city and the person had also left broken in the tunnel.  I hope 
that whoever is doing this is caught.  However, I know no one can guard 
the trail 24/7.  But I am going to start trying to remember to carry my 
camera.  Sometimes I leave work late.  I am not sure it would do any 
good if I did catch them, but I plan to have it.

The rave:  The glass is being cleaned up quickly.  If it is the Park 
people, kudos to them.  If by some chance it is some good samaritan, 
double kudos to them.  The glass I saw Tuesday morning was gone when I 
came home.  After the first occurrence, it seems that the broken glass 
never stays there more than one day.
