No this is not a fishing trip or it would be under Fishing Reports.

Lew and I spend the time checking out the garbage situtation for the Chilliwack/Vedder River Cleanup Coalition's BC Rivers Day River Cleanup and celebration set for this Sunday. We also met 2:40 at Thompson Park, the venue for the day to store the CVRCC display and other items for the event.

We drove in Lew's truck from the mouth of the Vedder to the Limit Hole below the Chilliwack River Hatchery and marked on Lew's sheets the areas that need the most attention. We also marked some areas with a number sign so Lew can easily direct people on Sunday to the area.

Some areas were quite clean while others were a real mess so there will be plenty for the volunteers to work at.

I hope we have a good turnout to make all the work worthwhile that has gone into arranging the day.

This year besides the usual cleanup, displays, a lunch provided, prize draws we have one of Chilliwack's best musical groups (Trevor MacDonald) playing from 12 to 2. As well we are very pleased to have Mark Angelo attending. Mark first started BC Rivers Day many years ago and will be there around 9 am to kick off the day so we hope to have a good show of support at that time.

I hope as many as possible from this forum will be able to turn out as it will be a fun day as well as cleaning up the Chilliwack/Vedder River, a river that we get so much enjoyment from and hold so dear to our hearts.

Hope to see on Sunday the regulars that attend each cleanup and some new faces.

You're definitely not jet lagged now. Itosh has picked up the tents tonight, we are ready to roll on Sunday.

Come early and get your salmon id cards from me on Sunday, they go like hot cakes. I'll also have some very nice posters for those who bring their kids.

That was fast.

What can I say, today's technology and Friday night boredom.

Chris should have taken a picture of the stolen vehicle we discovered today also. Reported to RCMP and sure enough, it was on their list. Well hidden off the road, stuck, flat tires and stereo gone ! Just never know what you are going to find out there! After Chris left, I found another major area for cleanup. Most of it on the river bar, that would all wash down with the next high water. It will be good to get some of these areas cleaned up. Hope to see a good turnout on Sunday !
