River clean up report 9/7/13:

[AndyS]

Good turn out today. A huge thanx to FASTEDDIE for donating a canoe today, they loaded it to the brim.

We all put in at Roberts St. in Raritan Borough on the Raritan river. I think this is the 2nd time doing this stretch. The crews had to stop and unload a fridge and an oven as we got to where the old dam had been.

I'm not sure of the actuall numbers but I think it may be 159 tires out of a one mile stretch of river, plus all the other debris we got.
Took out at the statue in Raritan and was greeted to a huge spread of food donated from local stores.
I had to leave after lunch, the crews put back into the river for more.[/IMG]

I actually put in at Duke Island Park and came down to Roberts St, looking, looking. Found 1 tire, with a concrete center, couldn't budge it, rest of the river on the way down looked great.

Once again, amazing job guys! Hopefully if I ever get off on a weekend, I could donate some time. That river will be in top shape in no time!!

Awesome job

Great job Andy......I know you care alot about the river.....wish the jerkoffs who littered the boat launch today at one of the sheds cared as much.....left a a few bags of fast food all over the launch area(and it wasn't a bear who dragged it over, we saw these punks do it but they were gone when we came in for the day)

What a great group of people. Big thanx to you Andy and to all the other volunteers. Raritan river is a a great place for recreational use, fishing, boating kayaking! Good people make things happen! Two thumbs up!

I'm thrilled to see my old canoe finally got put to use.
