Road-tripping with Bodie it struck me that some of the greatest beauty spots in the US are accented with a dog poop bag dispenser, seemingly vying to be in the vista as I raised my camera. On the upside, they do a marvelous job of keeping these scenic coastal, desert and woodland areas clean and fragrant for the next visitor…
