Twenty one intrepid volunteers from our chapter along with two from CUSP (Coalition for the Upper South Platte) braved sunny 90 degree weather to clean up an 8 mile stretch of the South Platte River north of Deckers, CO. Thanks to all the folks who participated to make this our best turn out for 2001! Enough trash was collected to fill a pickup truck!The BBQ lunch of brats, hamburgers and cheeseburgers along with cool refreshments was enjoyed and appreciated after a hot morning of trash removal. Many thanks to Doug McFarland who organized the project and prepared the BBQ!Again, we could not accomplish these important conservation and restoration projects without the support of our TU chapter volunteers.Thank you to the following participants!Peter Kohler Loren Kohler Don Cushing Bill HoneyfieldDuane Van deVentner Jim Rasmussen Derek HankinsJohn Aaron Ray Carney Bob MillerSusan Miller Alan Whitehead Jim Klug Kent HigginsChris Burros Richard Pilatzke Jim Stranahan Bob DiCarloDoug McFarland Jordan Pogue Mike Pogue
