Took Brad, Johnny and myself about 2 hours to clean out the trash collected in these Mud Run booms, but, it will now not end up spread out over hundred of miles of the Tuscarawas watershed. In the video I said I wouldn’t talk through it all, I did. Also said I would now be quiet toward the end, I didn’t.
Can’t get in the water now but can check how booms are working! We did get 20 pounds out of the Nature Club’s boom that the kids built and installed last week outside the Nature Center. The new RiverKeepers Ohio members! Great Job! Thanks Thanks Summit Metro Parks!
Oh!, it’s just Opa Runs coming up with another invention! 🤣. Shown here, he is building a ‘barge’ out of styrofoam for his trash pick up! It’s first use will be at the Summit Lake Cleanup this Saturday, May 10th at the Southside of Summit Lake ! It will be interesting to see how it…
Flooding and ice broke the boom away as designed several weeks ago and today finally had the opportunity to put it back to work. Note, I do not have to get in the water for any of this, even when I forgot to hold the trow rope when I sent it sailing to the far…
Sean Blake suggested we go check out the dried up pool just south of the Nature Center off the towpath. 5 tires/wheels (dang those things were heavy!) and a couple bags of trash. Scariest part of the day, almost didn’t make it back home for Browns kickoff!!!
Pretty big source of trash there and we should be able to access it to cleanup with just a pair of muck boots. Thanks South Street Ministries for the interest and the assist! And thanks to Summit Metro Parks.
