Lee Creek Cleanup Saturday September 7th

Post by Half Ton » Wed Aug 07, 2013 10:13 pm

It's getting close to time for the 6th annual Lee Creek Cleanup. Please come on out and help if you can, and please help spread the word If you can't.

Saturday September 7th from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.with check-ins at Natural Dam, Hwy 220 Access aka Silver Bridge, and Day use Horse Area.

Roxanne K. lead the charge for ACC on the organizing crew this year, and she said part of the usual's will be out at a mtn. biking race, so if you've never been be sure to come on out and help support the effort to make up for a few we'll be missing this year.

Lots of great sponsors will ensure we are all well fed, and have a chance to win some nice rewards like new Merrell's and such.

Thought I would share it. Very nice article. I think I will come and participate in this event. It will be my first time to participate in this event. I am new to the area and hope to meet some other paddlers at the event.

River Valley Chapter will be meeting at the Hwy. 220 Bridge over Lee Creek (aka Silver Bridge) and focus on cleaning this area. We will try to be in place by 8:30 AM and try to wrap up by 10:45 so those wanting lunch at Devil's Den can make the drive and maybe get there while there is still FOOD! Many Thanks to Roxanne for heading this up for RV Chapter.

We are also base camping out of Rogers and would like to meet some paddlers as well.
Will this be a boating or rubber boot event?
Thanks

Let's call it NW Chapter 0900 at the horse camp. That's the easiest spot to get to.
