Cleaning up The Creek

Posted by Howard Hadsall on October 17, 2011 at 1:21pm

After spending the summer digging a hole that kept giving and giving it was time to fill it back up. Sunday at The Creek was saying fairwell to a lot of rocks that I knew well after moving them around all summer.

 The trees were changing color and the winter rains would soon push the water level up the Creek needed to flow in its normal pattern so as to not erode the bank.

  Chanting goodbye to the rocks I knew so well tossed, rolled, and shoveled them back to the hole they came from "Less the gold they were hiding"

Making One last lap around the area picking up Trash left by campers and hunters threw the sack in te back of the truck  and headed home.

  Not that I won't still be working The Creek through the winter just not standing waist deep in the cold winter run, Shallow spots with my wading boots and warm dry cloths will be my choice.

  The weather changes the way I prospect not always the where !10493340863?profile=original

    All summer Jane and I have stayed up with keeping our spot on the Creek clean picking up others trash and always hauling out more than we haul in. But this week we were suprised by a folding card table and one chair set up as the card game was just ended! It looked so out of place, On closer inspection they had just been dumped and set up both in bad shape. Needless to say they want home with us and to the dumpster!

                                                                KEEP THE CREEKS CLEAN !!!

    Did you get to bedrock, or you going to dig the rocks back out next year? If everyone cleaned up after themselves like you, the enviro- nuts wouldn't have anything to complain about. Good job- thanks.
