After a holiday weekend that saw people enjoying the South Platte River, on Saturday, July 10th CCTU patrolled the river from Cable Hole to Nighthawk picking up trash that had inadvertently escaped from tubes, rafts and vehicles.
CCTU members and guests, including five CCTU Board Members, broke into 8 teams, each team covering a mile. Trash was collected and placed in orange bags provided by the Jefferson County and the Coalition for the Upper South Platte. The bags were placed along the road for Douglas and Jefferson Counties to pick up during the business week.
The most interesting finds during the day were a bull snake, a fishing license, a driver’s license and other ID…both by Ray, and Bill found a 10 dollar bill. Hold on to your stuff people!
A special thanks to the Coalition for the Upper South Platte for providing access to the community center in Deckers and to Deckers Corner for providing lunch.
