1N09 mess

[rkruz]

We traveled the length of 1n09 a few time the last 6 weeks. The trash at several spots along the way was shocking....disturbing...... and then the reactions move to anger for the abuse shooters have done. Red carpets of shotgun shells, endless mats of rusted steel shells, busted up tube TVs and refrigerators, broken glass everywhere. Some of this strewn in an otherwise tranquil creek. We stopped at 2 locations to collect shotgun and steel shells gathering almost 300 pounds of those in 2hours and we knew going in it wouldn't make a dent but was still satisfying to do something no matter how small. If shooters would pick up the equivalent of their own detritus that would help. THey would have to do no more then bend at the knees to find plenty to choose from and might get lucky and find some brass to keep.

We called the Ranger and he mentioned this organized cleanup in August with Calguns being involved which only made it 1.5 miles in. So yeah, count me in next time there is an organized cleanup party. If your interested in joining me and my wife for some wheeling and cleanup let me know here or IM.
