Video: Walkin' trash


Video by Duncan Adams | Produced by Hunter Wilson

Imagine an archaeologist or anthropologist 500 years from now studying artifacts excavated from what will be known as The Interstate 81 Trail.

They'll wonder about that Rubbermaid tote top and a host of other plastic paraphernalia that survived a global heat wave and a mini Ice Age.

Staff writer Duncan Adams went trash prospecting this week along I-81 and I-581, a venture cut short when a state trooper pulled up behind Adams' vehicle near the Hollins exit.
