Project Flowing Fountain — Expedition Two
A week after Expedition One found me back out on Bayou Fountain and hungry for more. I entered at my usual place and started downstream. I arrived at blockage eight fresh and in good spirits, and I immediately went to work. Read more…
Project Flowing Fountain — Expedition One
After much planning and anticipation, the first expedition of Project Flowing Fountain launched today. Entry was from Highland Road Park around N 30° 20.831′ W 091° 04.703′. From there I paddled slightly upstream to blockage number one in the immediate vicinity of the entry. That would be the pilot project to see whether the trailblazing project was even remotely possible. Read more…
With the Comite up, I decided it was time for another Comite/Amite run from Hooper Road to Port Vincent. I quite enjoy the route (when the Comite is navigable), and it had been a while since the last time I ran it. I certainly recalled the quantity of litter that I was going to find along the way, so I decided at the outset that I would narrow my general cleanup plans and instead spend the day on a theme. What theme should I choose?
Well, the last time I made the run with Mike, we had a running tally going for several miles regarding the number of balls we saw on the water. It started off as a simple diversion, and gradually it became a running gag, but eventually it became a sorry commentary on the litter problem. So, remembering that, I decided that my theme for the day would be that: balls.
