Blog -- #200

Stephen, Tom, Larry, and Tim all getting ready for the daunting task of cleaning up shell beach. This is a stretch of land that base folks travel all the time. It is about 3/4 of a mile of beach, cassia bush, rocks, and TRASH! The key is that people have been throwing their trash out here for YEARS and YEARS. Larry decided we should reach out to the community and try and clean up. We had about 10 folks here to do the cleaning...after about 2 hours and a LOT of trash we called it a day. We will regroup in a couple of weeks and clean up some more!

Stephen, Will, Tim, JoAnn, and George...this was the motherload. As you can see, out past Stephen is beautiful beach water and beach. The problem is that between myself and him there are endless amounts of trash. This particular spot looked like it had been designated as a temporary land-fill by many of the locals. This was about 2-hours in, and after just scratching the surface, we called it a day...we will come back again.

Will!!

Stephen, Larry, Will, George, and Me in front. We took this picture next to the dumpster we pretty much filled. WOW...a LOT of TRASH. We are just hopeful that the locals will see the difference and start taking care of the beautiful beaches they have. I am not overly optomistic, but we can hope...right??
