August 6 -Sturgeon River Clean Sweep

Published on 8/13/2009

 

Even though some few did sign up for this event, they later had to cancel for personal reasons. I canceled the event.

 

 However:

 

 David and I (Norm) had been trying to find a day to paddle the Sturgeon, so we decided to go anyway.

 

It was a gorgeous day and we got there at around 10:00am.  No need to hurry, no one was meeting us.  We dropped off our boats and got a shuttle from Henley's as always.

 

We paddled from Wolverine to North White Bridge.

 

The river was in pretty good condition but we did find a good bit of trash.

 

We were able to pick up about half of what we found and at the end, a teenager came over and took the bags in order to get the money for the cans.  He said he would put the rest in his dad's dumpster.  I hope he didn't drink the un-opened ones, but OH Well! Can't worry about that now.

 

Maybe we can do a better job in September on the day this event was rescheduled to.
