Here we are starting our 17th cleanup for 2012.
I want to thank everyone who came out for making the sacrifice to help with this project.
This is the latest cleanup we have ever done - just 3 days before Thanksgiving.
Note the color of the water in all the pictures.

Roseanne gets a green bucket out of a tree.

AMEC loaned us day-glow bibs since it is deer season.

We found 11 of these dock sections, removed one and marked the others with a GPS.

Glen's a monster paddler in his new Dagger AXIS 12.

Jocelyn is FANTASTIC!

Roseanne got the nightmare inner tube off the bridge

And handed it to me on the shore. I left it on the road and it got picked up later.

Roseanne found a bench in the woods and moved it to other side of the river.

Three fifths of the crew.

We salvaged one little section of dock to reuse as a shower floor.

Birds eating berries along the shore.

Glen showing us a bottle that is trapped in a tree root.

He couldn't get it out without breaking it. We left it there.

Trash in the canoe.

More trash in the canoe.

Even more trash.

More trash.

Bob showed up with a pickup truck just when we needed him to.
He took our trash to the AMEC dumpster.

We are happy to be done and also happy to end the 2012 season working for such a good cause.

A special thank you goes out to Garrett Coggens of the Grand Traverse Conservation District for
running our morning shuttle for us which allowed us to have all our cars at Shumsky when we were done.
