Crooked Creek Clean-Up Float

Charlcie and I joined the Friends of the North Fork and White River group on a float on Crooked Creek, with the mission of picking up as much trash as we could haul from a stretch of the creek. Had a great time, and hauled out 38 automobile tires along with bags of other trash. The tires apparently were washed downstream from a Harrison tire shop that was flooded. Ended the day with a fantastic crawfish boil and blues music, until it was interrupted by a storm. A bolt of lightning struck nearby when Charlcie was in the Porta-Potty, eliciting a loud scream. Shared a few chuckles about that - only after being assured she was OK, of course. A fun day with a lot of nice folks in great natural Ozarks setting.
