The Westport Conservation Department will be providing us with

Department is working with the marine police to provide
transportation of the refuse from the island to the mainland but we
may have to transport it ourselves. If anyone has a boat we can use
as a garbage barge or has any useful suggestions please post a note
to this cache page. This page will be updated as more information
is available.
Please bring whatever food and beverages you will need for the
day. We will be meeting at John's Best Pizza (365 Post Rd W,
Westport, CT) after we're done getting all mucky and gross.
Thanks in advance to everyone who participates in this event! We
thank you, Signal thanks you and the Earth thanks you!
Happy caching and stuff!
