tires, assorted pieces of metal and steel, a very rusty bicycle, and even a kitchen sink! Within a few hours, the volunteers had completely cleaned a three-mile section of the river between the bridge at Whitson Avenue and Owen Park. One of the most satisfying accomplishments of the day was digging out and removing a very large, unsightly piece of twisted metal roofing that had been embedded in the river at Owen Park since the floods of 2004. Yay!
