June 11 Upper Platte River Cleanup

Published on 6/11/2009
We had a fun day.  Nice weather.  Cool and sunny.  There were 7 of us.  Jocelyn, Dean and Diane Tobias,  Fred and Judy Swartz,  Jean Palmieri (a new member) and Norm.

 

The river was high and fast and we didn't find much trash at first, but later as we approached Honor, we were rewarded with lots of trash to collect.  We grabbed 7 bags full and some large items that went to the dumpster intact.

 

Jean used a sit-on-top that worked very well for the cleanup.  She actually collected more trash than anyone else.

 

Here are some pictures of the day.

The one of Dean is terrific.

 

Thank G-d for self  timers on cameras.

 

 

 Here is our haul for the day.
