It ain't over until it's all packed away and gone.
Visit #1532, Saturday 10 May 25, 8:20-9:30AM, 4.2 miles, 2.5 lbs. of litter.
Temps in the 50s, cloudy but clearing after Friday and overnight rain.
The Daffodil Festival is over, but some signs remain. It reminds me of this classic song:
After seeing the remnants of last week's fireworks display from the Halfway House and my concerns on whether the site would be cleaned up in the aftermath, I went hiking properly equipped.
I was ready to do the deed myself, but my concerns were for naught as Chris Bourdon and the parks crew did a righteous job themselves. A tip of the rake and my thanks to them all.
That left me with little to do but hunt down litter and remove a couple stickers.
This changed my time budget significantly. I returned to my vehicle, dropped off the rake, and used my loppers and hedge clippers to hike to another trail and trim back fast growing thorn bushes and other vegetation. Other trails will get similar attention in future weeks.
