Yet again a Adirondack Paddlers Club, supported by local canoe and kayak outfitters and volunteers, has organized to clean-up the shore line of the Saranac River in the Village of Saranac Lake. According to Jim and Jennie Sausville, this was at least the 15th year of the Saranac River Clean-up. Some years have seen as many as 20 people and some as few as two.
Other than the usual plastic grocery bags, cans, empty packs of cigarettes and bottles, other items pulled from the river included: 6 bikes, 3 shopping carts, 3 road cones, 4 golf balls, 1 foot ball, 1 cassette tape (America - Your move), a glass pipe, a flash light, a pink toilet, many t-shirts, a winter coat, a couple pairs of jeans, Hot Wheels underwear, a stroller, about a 100' of metal pipe, broken plates, along with a lot of random junk!
Thanks to Adirondack Paddlers Club, St Regis Canoe Outfitters, Adirnodack Lakes and Trails Outfitters, and all the volunteers for another great haul!!
