Terry Dodge Posted May 6, 2013 Report Posted May 6, 2013 Kishwaukee River Float-N-CleanSaturday, May 18 - It's time for some Spring cleaning. Terry will be floating his garbage barge down the north branch of the Kishwaukee River.What's a "garbage barge" you ask? Come out to Baumann Park in Cherry Valley @ 1pm and find out for yourself. And bring a camera becauseMike Clifford needs pics. I would imagine it would be a good idea to bring a fishing rod or two along. Quote
Guest Jim S. Posted May 6, 2013 Report Posted May 6, 2013 Sounds good, what other things shall we bring....................... Quote
Mike G Posted May 7, 2013 Report Posted May 7, 2013 Is that the river with the dinosaur bones in it? Quote
Bart Durham Posted May 10, 2013 Report Posted May 10, 2013 Terry, whats the garbage barge look like? Can you lease it out? Quote
Terry Dodge Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Posted May 12, 2013 The garbage barge will float on Saturday May 18 @ 1pm. That is as long as the rain holds off. Last I head we have a good chance of some heavy down pours on Wednesday. Quote
Terry Dodge Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Posted May 13, 2013 This clean up sounds good to Jim S. Does it happen to sound good to any other NW Region folk? Quote
Terry Dodge Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Posted May 14, 2013 This came to me in a dream last night.... Being unable to sleep after such a dream, I began to decode the message and this is what I came up with; It seems a little early to do a trash run. We just had major high water, so most of the trash is in the Mississippi by now. Also , we haven't had any tubers yet, and that's the source of most of the trash. I think the most effective trash runs would be after things heat up, particular after a major holiday like Memorial Day or the Fourth. Plus, there's the Chicago Region outing on the same day. I am going to reschedule this event for a later date. Sorry. Going by the words of the decoded message and the very little interest shown in this event, I just feel rescheduling would be the best way to go and will also make for better pictures for Mike Clifford. Did you get all this Jim S.? Quote
Guest Jim S. Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 I'm sorry what?, I wasn't paying attention............. Quote
Terry Dodge Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Posted May 14, 2013 I'm sorry what?, I wasn't paying attention............. Read my last post again without playing the video. Quote
Mike G Posted May 14, 2013 Report Posted May 14, 2013 Good dream. Later sounds way better fro the reasons you mentioned. Also I figure lower water in July or August would make it easier to spot the trash. Quote
tgoodmanii Posted May 17, 2013 Report Posted May 17, 2013 I was planning on coming but I agree with the reasons for a reschedule. Good point on the low water comment Mike. Makes it easier for me to find all Terry's lures that he snags on the bottom. Quote
Terry Dodge Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Posted May 19, 2013 Good point on the low water comment Mike. Makes it easier for me to find all Terry's lures that he snags on the bottom. You should see his method of looking for my lures on the bottom. Quote
