Thanks to all who participate.

I found an SUV in 9 Mile Creek today

I discovered that an SUV was in Nine Mile Creek today as I was returning from church. I called the Hopkins police. I told them that I was involved in trash picking along the creek with the Nine Mile Creek CAC but that I didn't have a big enough bag for the SUV.

I did not have my camera along and when I returned an hour later, the vehicle had already been pulled out.

4th and final week of the Spring pick-May 9th

Last weekend Linda and Leslie helped pick and we got a lot done. Thanks for your help!

This weekend will be the final pick for the season. Please come to the Caribou Coffee at 169 and Bren Road around 8:45 AM.

May 2nd is the third scheduled date for Hwy 169 picking

We have made good progress over the past two weekends with willing helpers. I want to invite all to participate this Saturday.

We will meet at 8:45 AM at the Caribou Coffee at Bren Road and Hwy 169.

Hope to see you there.

Forecast is for rain

The local forecast is not looking so good for Saturday, April 25th. If it is raining at 9AM we will not pick.

Who wants to get wet picking up trash?

The make-up date will be the following Saturday, May 2nd.

Adopt-A-Highway

Thanks to a very hard-working crew of trash pickers. This is the Bethany Lutheran College Friends group picking up trash on Highway 169 in Hopkins MN.

Getting in shape

I tested my legs during the past several days. I picked trash along Smetana in Minnetonka. Water from along this place runs into Nine Mile Creek.

My spirit was willing, but my legs were weak.

I don't expect that anyone will be able to endure the whole pick. If we have enough people, we can allow everyone to take a short time at the work. We have 20 vests for the job but over 200 bags.

I would think that the bag supply would last for a little while into the summer.
