The Friends of Chattahoochee Bend State Park had a cleanup event last Saturday and I showed up to help. There were a couple of dozen people, and we got an update on the park status, then headed out to the park to pick up trash.
Like most rural areas, there has been plenty of illegal dumping going on over the years. We spent a few hours cleaning up several of these dumping sites along the county road that runs through the park and the power line that crosses it.
It was a good start - more work is needed, of course. The bare rock areas are rimmed with trash too.
After the trash pickup I wandered around in the bare rock areas for a couple of hours checking things out. Looks like there will be plenty of detail in some areas and almost no detail in other areas.
We got some good news about the hunting. Looks like they will change to a quota hunt or only a few days. This is how hunting is handled at FDR, Red Top, Lake Russell, Joe Kurz, and Dukes Creek. This means I can map in the winter, which is a much better time because of the increased visibility.
Haven't been back to your site in a while Sam. Just wanted to say thanks for your help at the cleanup and congrats on your progess with the mapping project. See you at the park.
