DeJA C&D Canal Clean - Sat., Sept 30!-INFO ADDED

Once again we are working with the C&D Project Office in Cheasapeake City to coordinate a clean up of the access roads in the C&D Canal area. Dave from the Project Office and I scouted out an area to work on. There's not a ton of stuff, but there are some big piles, and we always find more than I see initially anyway. See latest post at end for specific directions. We'll meet there (more specific directions to come) at 9am on that Saturday morning, break into 2 groups, and hit 2 different areas, one in MD. Along with people to help gather trash, we'll need small trailers to haul stuff, pick ups, etc.

More info to come later, just wanted to get this on people's calendars. This will be added to the calendar and sign up forum shortly.

Please note: as always, kids are welcome, but parents will want to keep a close eye on them. There can be broken glass, sharp metal edges, etc that can be dangerous. Long pants, long sleeves, boots and gloves are required to help clean up.

Also, we will not have a roll-off this year. We have an area designated to make 2 seperate piles. One for recycleable metal, and one for everything else. So we'll need to seperate trash as we bring it to the drop off area.

Any questions right now, please post and I'll do my best to answer. I'm checking to see if the club will once again provide a pizza lunch, but beverages are your own responsibility.

Stay tuned....

Josh- it's normally a morning thing, meeting about 9am or so to get started. In the past it's gone to anywhere from 3 to 5 pm, all depends on how much we find to clean up.

Titan- many of our members will have their pick-ups and such at the event, so I certainly have no problem with anyone who is willing to help out showing up. The help would be much appreciated. It's all about giving something back, and there is often a lot of crap down there as you saw. Not sure what areas you were in, but I'd be happy to have you and your friends pitch in. Thanks! Shoot me a PM on here, or an email to pemjr@comcast.net if you have any questions.

Info as far as where we'll meet, times, required stuff other than mentioned in this thread already, etc. will be posted soon.

Dave and I started at the entrance under St. George's bridge on the north side, and rode towards, and into MD. Most the upper level trails, not down by the canal. there were a few spots that needed some help. Spots farther away will need to have anything found hauled back to the one central location where we'll be piling stuff. Maybe we can meet down there before the 30th and I'll show you where we went, and we can see what else we can find.

I'll have to check my schedule, and I'll check with Jerry too, if he doesn't chime in. Planning on going to the meeting Sunday? Maybe we can do it before that, if my wife has nothing planned that I don't know about yet.
