Hoicks Hollow on Saturday
September 21, 2011
Friends:
Another stunning Saturday. Had a small turn-out (seven on Madaket Road and four in Town). But we made real progress. Cleaned six miles of Madaket Road and over a mile on Eel Point Road.
Odd event of the week: a Clean Teamer picking away on Milestone Road was stopped by The Police. A “tip” had been called in under the “See Something, Say Something” Program in effect nationwide.
Suspected of “digging in a field” (Indian artifacts/grave robbing??), the Volunteer displayed proudly her lime-green Clean Team Shirt. The Officer (reluctantly) dropped his weapon (joking) and resumed his patrol. That’s enough excitement for anyone on Nantucket!
Next events: This Saturday, September 24th:
A. Town at 8:00 a.m. – Grand Union Lot; and
B. Beautiful stretch of shoreline, not often seen – end of Hoicks Hollow Road (take Polpis Road and turn left on to Hoicks). Drive to Sankaty Beach Club. John will be there at 9:00 a.m. Free Sankaty Head of debris.
And a heads-up: gellato and cookies after assisting the Maritime Festival tidy up. Meet on October 1 at 4:00 p.m. at Children’s Beach – clad in our Clean Team shirts, our only refuge in these Troubled Times.
