Three Little Booms!
Spent some time collecting at Mud Run (3 bags 39 pounds), Wolf Creek (1 bag 8 pounds) and new boom off of Cordova (5 bags 59 pounds).
Mud Run
Another 85 pounds, 6 bags and a propane tank from Mud Run.

PLEASE DO NOT TELL SHERRY!

We have a new member, Jennifer, to the Riverkeepers Ohio club.
Along with Jennifer, Eric Fitch joined us today too and we pulled 15 bags at 177 pounds of trash from Mud Run keeping it out of the Gulf! In the video they share their thoughts. Thank you both and Dave for turning this 2+ hour job into about an hour.

In the video you see me using the most common tools for cleaning out booms. It took about 35 min in real time in part because of the snow and ice. I also made a trip to the Canal Boom just south of Summit Lake. That video will come tomorrow. You can see the oil…
