- Friday 2nd:
Nick K., Eliza B., Nick H., and Kacy C. went for a
drive down Birdseye Castleton Road and cleaned up a dumping of sheet
rock that someone had thrown to the side of the road. They pulled 12
large garbage bags out of the woods and put them on the side of the
road so a town truck could come and pick them up and dispose of the
trash properly. After Nick H. and Kacy C. were dropped off in West
Rutland, Nick and Eliza continued to explore. They visited the large
quarry where they saw that at least three vehicles had been pushed off
the edge of the cliff down into the quarry. They also saw numerous
tires and discussed ways of cleaning the area. The whole time they
wondered how people can just trash Vermont and such beautiful areas!?!

Up Day! Nick K, Dan S, & Roy M (a few OC'ers) Greened Up Watkins
Hill Road. They rapelled into the ravine and set a system with a rope
for pulling items out. Items ranged from Windows (with a lot of glass!)
and tires, among other bits of trash, plus a deer skeleton (They
respected the animal thus putting its remains in a respectable area)
were all pulled out of the 90ft ravine next to the road. They spent
almost 4 hours doing this!
After dropping a few kids back at school,
Nick, Eliza and Dan decided to go exploring all the back roads around
Birdseye. They discovered some ATV/logging trails and had quite an
adventure! Thankfully the car remained in tact with Nicks skilled
Vermont driving.
