Paddling the San Diego River

San Diego River Park Foundation held a clean day on the San Diego River. The river is normally closed to boats, but they obtained permission to allow up to 10 kayaks or canoes on the river to assist in the clean up. This was too good to pass up. Jen lent some of her canoes and kayaks to cause. I was assigned to the first shift and was paired up with Mike Franklin. We launched our canoe and headed up the river (with a paddle). We were paddling in high tide, but still to deal with low water conditions.



We were able to remove a traffic cone, a tire, various bottles and cans, a popcorn tin, and a 4x2 foot display rack. Others found a part of a shopping cart, and a mermaid Barbie.



It was a lot of fun, with a bunch of great fellow paddlers helping out.
