Adopt-A-Highway - Minnesota

Today a group of five of us picked trash in Crow Wing County. [The group is Bethany Lutheran College Friends]. I had some cancellations and so we were down to one car instead of two. We picked around Fort Ripley where the Nokasippi runs into the Mississippi. A reporter from The Brainerd Daily Dispatch is doing a feature story on senior citizens who do volunteer work. Our group of volunteers has been selected. We spoke with the reporter at the Baxter Caribou before we went out to the site. A photographer followed an hour later and snapped some pix of the group in action.

As I crossed the Nokasippi I looked over the side and saw a big section of someone's dock hung up below. I snapped a picture and will put it in the blog when I came back home.

The trash picking season ends for me on or about October 17th. For three consecutive Saturdays pickers will be working the Hwy 169-62 area in Edina, Hopkins, and Eden Prairie.
