We rode our bikes over to Hiawatha Lake. REI had free bike "inspections" - I had debris removed from a brake pad and the chain cleaned and lubed. Sweet! Then we grabbed garbage bags and headed out to several creek locations.
T and I decided to wade in the creek and pick trash right out of it. We had two bags nearly full by the time the 90 minute clean up was complete. Several creek path users shouted out "Thanks" for our effort to keep the creek clean. I found part of a hockey stick, LOTS of beer cans, some plastic bottles, t-shirts, shoes, etc. It is amazing what ends up in our waters.
After the clean up, we had a BBQ with a couple Leinie's brews.
The mission was to collect 2 tons and we met it, had some fun and did some good.
