Confluence V 2.0

We rode through the Park Rd. parade on the way to the river and saw this sweet bus!!

Brendan has already summed up our clean-up of the confluence of the Park and Connecticut Rivers this last Saturday so I won't add to that but I thought I'd post a few more pictures, because everyone loves pictures!!

Hit them up after the break!




Here is the culvert from whence the mighty Park River flows into the Connecticut. From here volunteers spread North and South along the river cleaning a stretch of about half a mile. Plenty of good bike parking spots here along the railing.


Up the hill everyone is loading up Joel's truck as we finish up.


Joel's truck filled to the brim with our finds. As you can see we managed to haul in quite a catch. If you look carefully you can see the red fiberglass canoe that Brendan alludes to in his blog.


My proudest find, too bad it was a XXXL. Im hoping someone nabbed it off the pile we left for DPW.


The crew picking up the pile.


Joel showing us his best trucker's face.


Oh glorious pile, anyone missing a bumper?


Afterwards some of us grabbed a late lunch at the Hook and Ladder. Not a bad joint, beer selection isn't great (sadly what is in the Beat), but the food was quite good. Brendan even scored one of their rare CBS-branded onion rings!

And finally...

...our beautiful Capitol on a beautiful day!

Thanks to everyone who came out and to those who did not, we shall see you next year.
