Rain in the 3 days prior may cancel or postpone. Call
949/923-2245 the day of the event or check this listing. I'll
update the page by 7 AM 12/3. The make-up rain day is December
10th.
Come help clean up Serrano Creek where it passes under
Portola Parkway from 9 to 11 AM on December 3, 2005. This area
has quite a bit of trash that will wash down the creek into
the ocean. Let's get it before it gets there.
The cleanup location is within a few hundred feet of the parking
area. There is little elevation change in a sandy semi-channelized
creekbed. We will also move up along along the trails adjacent to
the creekbed and continue up and down the creek if we have
time.
Meet at the parking lot on the south side of
Portola by Wahoos Fish Tacos, but park away from the
restaurants so they can continue business while we clean up.
The park staff will be providing trash bags and latex gloves.
There will be a log to sign after you sign an Orange County
Parks Adopt-A-Park form. (No signed form and your log will be
deleted). The forms will be available the entire time.
Stop by whenever you can. In your log post a list of some of
the locations you went during the CITO so I can provide an map
to the park of the area we helped clean up and post it on the
site.
If you have a FRS two-way radio bring it along. We'll use
channel 2 sub-channel 0.
After the event enjoy a lunch at Wahoos or one of the other
restaurants in the same area. I'll see if any of them would be
willing to give us a lunch discount. (If anyone has connections let
me know, or would be willing to check on this for me.)
The staff has approved placing two new caches in the wilderness
park that participants will get a first crack at after the event
(at noon). I also plan to also make some new caches available along
Serano Creek Trail.
Thanks to
Bobbie Tumolo, Limestone Canyon Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park Park
Ranger for helping set this event up and approving the new
wilderness park caches.
New caches for this event:
Sorry, Wahoo's does not do food discounts, and I didn't get with
them soon enough to get anything else from them.
