BTT. Where's the best place to have the "BASE CAMP"?I'm planning on bringing a cooker-n-gas, some fish, a roll of plastic garbage bags, some dip (of some sort), and a ride or garbage barge run for who/what ever. The ramp is a good place, but a little short on beach space. Any input?

Are we doing this thing this weekend or next? I thought it was this coming weekend but saw earlier post reference the 18th-19th - I'm out of town that weekend so I'm out unless those aren't the dates.

How about at the northeast corner of the Ft McRae point just north of the rock and marble blocks jetty?



What ramp do you refer to?

From Larry Bova, GINS Park Service volunteer coordinator.

"Sorry for the phone mishaps. I am a one man show and have been driving a beach sweeper that precludes phone service. Anyway, we have a 30 yard dumpster ready for your group to use near the seawall at Fort Pickens. I would like the group to concentrate their efforts on removal of any larger debris first. I am thinking of stuff like construction materials, boards with nails, tires, metal, etc. And if there are people and time, then the cans and bottles. I can get trash bags for the group. I would encourage each person to be responsible for wearing some sturdy footwear and bringing gloves and sun protection. I will attempt to join you at Ft McRee, if I can arrange a ride over on a friends boat. What is the time that you plan to start the clean-up? Talk to you soon. Larry Bova"

I have invited Mr. Bova to this thread for additional input.

I was refering to thelittle cove area that has thecement pathway/landing area leading up to the fort. The cove is deep, good for swiming and anchoring bigger boats, and we can get a good number of people in there without being spread all down the beach. Itdoesn't matter to me where, I just wanted to pick a spot so we can gather, and put the grills and stuff.

What a great day! Thanks to all that contributed their time and efforts. I know that there will be more postings, and pictures,to follow. I wanted to say how wonderful you all are. Although the numbers are not in yet, I estimate several hundreds of pounds of garbage were picked up today. In my initial posting I mentioned how trashed Ft. McRee was. I really had no idea, at that time, how much there actually was. We do now! What a great effort you all made. It was a successful day, and you all should be very proud of yourselves.:clap. I'm honored to have met all of you today. Thank you!:bowdown

We were only there from 8 until about 10 - met Pirate40, BananaTom (old Flathead), and a few others. I know we picked up about 5 bags of trash and a BBQ grill - I was really hoping to stay around and see just how much got pulled out; but, we just HAD to get back home...



We should make this an annual event!!!
