Hey guys, just an UPDATE to keep everyone in the loop w/ me: here is the email from monica that I promised a couple of days ago =0)

Hi Elly,
We had our meeting but we really didn’t get into “outlining” what the adopt-a-bridge program should be. So we’ll just develop the program as we go!

One question I have is: would it be okay if I register your cleanup with the Ocean Conservancy, the sponsors of the event? We can stipulate that you don’t want any members of the public to join you which is how I used to do it with my club. If so, what is the time of your event?

Also, I can meet you at the bridge and provide bags and gloves. Is there anything else you want? I might just meet you and then continue to another cleanup (haven’t decided for sure yet).

By the way, I checked out the Boatless Fishing website – it is very cool! I read some of the posts and actually registered so I could answer a question about the Long Key Bridge. I want to make myself available for answering questions about the bridges along our trail.

Well that’s it for now from me – I’m leaving for the day but I look forward to hearing back from you. Have a great weekend! Maybe we can talk on Monday!
Monica


I've already spoken to Tommy about this and he has signed our group up w/ the Ocean Conservancy and open to he public being able to pitch in and help clean up if they want to help out as well. However, we're still the adoptees for Channel 2 =0) I'm really counting on all of you that have confimed to show up...and hopefully for all of them...not just one. Don't make us look bad.

On another note: IMPORTANT conversation with Tommy:

In an email I had w/ Tommy: Maybe we could see if some of the members will donate a garbage picker upper to add to the gear we will need to do the job on the bridges and they can be stored and used at each time by the members, they cost about 15.00 and can be bought at Home depot and Lowe's.

Chris and I will be donating one, possibly 2 and we'll be reusing these with every cleanup. I'm asking out a favor from you guys to pull through with as many of these as you can...but of course, it's up to you.

The checklist for the cleanup is as follows: (Please email me w/ anything else you want to bring to I may add it to here)
Tommy: Drinks, Gloves and garbage bags
Monica: Gloves and garbage bags
Chris: Ice (Thank you Davie) lol.
Elly: Garbage pickers
Gus: Bio Bags
If I missed any1 please email me and I'll add you.

I'm also keeping a RSVP list and will post this by next week for a shirt count.

THANKS EVERY1!!

good idea, you can release them on the bridge so they'll clean up all the leftover baits on the rails
No, the Skunk Ape will take care of that. Crabs are for Permit only.

RSVP me in!! I'll bring some water, ice, and snacks!

I'll also grab one of those garbage pickers and my garden wagon/bridge cart. I'll hitch it up to my chair and load a garbage can or two on it and haul the bulk back and forth.

Let me say,
as a Fisherman I am glad to start this "Thanks again Elly" and it will be a great way for me to give back on a personal level to the BIG Cheese herself the Great Mother Earth, so anyone else wants to take a little walk on the Red Road.

"The Red Road is the Good Road of Life, the path that we aspire to walk with our children and their children, and ALL OUR RELATIONS."

This comes from the Lakota People and was taught to me many years ago.

Rory, dont scare Rob like that. He will end up stay home. We need all the help possible to clean this bridge. The city will have biohazzard showers after the clean up.

Channel 2 is not that bad overall. You drama queens just want it to yourselves to fish after the cleanup. Anyone that needs a ride let me know first come first seated . I have one seat open next to WHOYDEY.

I have been warned by the forum police to stop exaggerating and scaring people away.

BOLO Official Statment: "Channel 2 is a safe and clean enviroment for family to enjoy. I did not intend to scared or frighten anyone. If I have I deeply apologize. I have enter a program to help my disorder behavior to hope to improve myself to better contribute to society. Thank you."

Channel Two is Mile marker 73 and that puts you in the middle of the bridge about.

To everyone Channel two is a heavily fished bridge, but as for bridges better than most.

I do not think they will close the bridge, I asked that they didn't so people could watch and get involved and help, I asked that it be allowed for the public to be able to help if they so want to join in, I don't believe in excluding.

Our actions should show others how they should be, it is better than telling people what to do and Saturdays are busy.

I hope a lot more happens in the mentality of the fisher people that fish that bridge through our actions.

If every time we do this it helps just a couple of people to see they can help to make a difference and they do a little more to pick up when they leave, we are accomplishing a great thing.
