I have come to the conclusion based on the 2 clean-ups (zone-1 & zone-2) that root of the problem is ignorance. Whether someone willingly throws these tires into the river or places the tires at the edge of their property that borders the river, we need to be more mindful of the damage being caused!
I am by no means a liberal hippie. I simply want a clean river to fish! This mess has been ignored for far too long. I would like nothing more than to pass on to the next generation a healthy river and the mindfulness to keep it that way!
I hope I am not violating any rules of this forum by posting a link to a photo site containing images of the undertaking to remove the mess. The photo album link is to Picasa where we host images. I truly want everyone to see these photo's in their entirety and appreciate donations and effort by every single volunteer! If I am violating any forum rules I am sorry.

PS.... Andy is right, there is a follow up clean up in the works. We will be meeting this weekend to hammer out the details. As soon as I have them, you will to!
Thanks Everyone!
