Please join us for this annual fun event! (I've been coordinating it for about 20 years while others did it for years before me.)
We'll meet @ the Rockbridge Baths P.O. on Rt. 39 on Sat, 3/28, @ 10am. Please park across from, NOT in front of or adjacent to the P.O. I'll have orange vests & trash bags. Then we'll drive upstream, stagger our parking, & pick up all the trash we can alongside Rt. 39 & down towards the river where possible. Please bring gloves. I also recommend long pants & long sleeves due to poison ivy. About noon, we'll head back to my house in RB for a cookout, courtesy of Coastals.
Most years, we've been fortunate to have enough water to then run 1 or 2 sections of the Maury - the Pass [Advanced], Indian Pools down [intermediate] &/or below the P.O. [low intermediate]. If not, Balcony Falls is always available as a back-up (35 minute drive from RB).
To help with my shopping list for the cookout, PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY THURSDAY, 3/26, IF YOU ARE COMING. However, if you decide to come @ the last minute, you'll still be quite welcome, but I won't be able to promise you a big lunch.
Thanks in advance for helping with this worthwhile club event - last year we had 33 volunteers & collected 52 bags of trash! It really makes a difference.
Hope to see you 3/28!

EVENT CANCELLED
Sadly, this year’s Rockbridge County Community Clean Up is postponed in observance of the social distancing recommendations to reduce community transmission of the COVID-19 virus.
In conjunction with the county, I am cancelling Coastals' cleanup.
We will announce a new date for the Clean Up if rescheduling the event for later this spring/this year is possible. Summer is not a great time due to tall grass and poison ivy. So TBD.
Perhaps you could pick up trash in your neighborhood!
Please all stay safe & virus-free.
