Just a reminder to please respond if you will be attending, this will help with food preparation...we want our volunteers to be properly fed! Also, for those coming down Friday night, let us know if you'd like to be included in the Saturday morning breakfast at a local diner....we need to let the waitress know an approximate number of who will be there. Please forward to your grotto lists...and thank you!
WHEN: Saturday October 27, 2007...Beginning at 9AM
WHERE: Majestic Highland County, near Monterey, VA
WHAT: Sinkhole Clean Up
DETAILS: Series of sinkholes to be cleared of trash accumulation....appears to be mostly wood, some old farm machinery, metal gates and brush. Large equipment not necessary, but four wheel drive pickups would be useful so that we could attach chains to haul some of the debris up out of the sinkhole.
WHAT YOU CAN BRING: Chainsaws, pruning instruments to cut back vegetation around sinkhole, 5 gallon buckets with handles, if you have a truck that would be suitable for the extraction from sinkhole , please let us know....
WE WILL PROVIDE: Lunch, beverages, snacks AND a day of fun filled camaraderie with fellow environmentally conscious very appreciated volunteers.
****Please respond if you will be attending so we can prepare enough food for everyone. janete@shentel.net ****
Directions: Find Monterey VA on the map to orient yourself....
From Monterey take Rt. 220 south for approximately four miles to the Junction with Rt. 84. Take Rt. 84 approximately 10 miles to Rt. 604. Follow Rt. 604 for approximately four miles. Sinkholes are on the left in an open field, you will see us.
Camping: Rick Lambert has generously offered his home in Monterey for camping Friday and Saturday night. caves@htcnet.org
