I am once again organizing a group of
geocachers to participate in this years river clean up. Last year
we had 18 geocachers represent our group for the cleanup and we all
had a great time. This years clean up float will be held on
Saturday, June 11th, 2011. The float will be 6.5 miles and will
last around 5 hours. All floaters are encouraged to collect as much
trash as possible. Drop off your personally owned boats at the
Delaware Town Access point (waypoint listed below). An event
volunteer will be on site to watch your gear. Then proceed to the
the Shelvin Rock Access point (posted coords). Each participant
must meet at the posted coordinates of the Shelvin Rock Access
Point beginning at 07:30 am but no later than 8:00 am on June 11th
for final event registration and a mandatory safety briefing. This
year's event will be on the James River. All participants will be
shuttled by the James River Basin Partnership up to the Delaware
Town Access Point to begin the CITO/float back to Shelvin Rock
Access.
Gloves and trash collection bags will be provided.
This event has three
types of participation options available.
1. For participants who own there own
canoe or kayak there is a 5.00 per person fee. If you don't own a
canoe and would like to reserve one a limited amount are available
and that cost is 20.00 per person. Those fees will include getting
you transported to the float put in area and you will float back to
where your vehicle is parked. Each paid participant will be given
an event t-shirt at the cleanup and a ticket to attend the "Dam Jam
Concert" at the posted alternate waypoint coordinates below at
6:00pm that night. Attending the "Dam Jam Concert" is not required
to earn your smiley.
2.
Free Option - Anyone who would like to participate in a shoreline
cleanup that day may do so without a fee but will not get the
t-shirt or concert ticket. You will be making the world a better,
happier, shining place and will earn your smiley for event
participation.
3.
Melissa is also looking for staff event volunteers. If you have
what it takes to be a staff event volunteer please contact Melissa
directly for information about putting yourself up to the
challenge. All staff event volunteers will also earn a
smiley.
