The first Panther Beach clean up that we organized was a success. There were a total of five of us who showed up and two more got lost on the way and ended up cleaning the beach nearby. It is amazing how much trash there was on such a little piece of the coast – I’ll never understand the people who simply leave their rubbish behind.

We’re planning on doing these on a somewhat regular basis, especially on those beaches that counties typically ignore. Stay tuned for more details in the future.

I was going to write more, but Jim Patterson (who’s idea started this all) had an excellent write up with highlights from the clean up that does it better than I ever could. He also posted a picture of yours truly in action taking a shot I posted on Sunday after the clean up. You can see Jim’s write up it here.

Panther Beach, Davenport, California

Today was the Panther Beach clean up and I’m happy to report, five of us turned up and had a great time. We gathered up at least 10 bags of trash, and following that, Mother Nature treated us nicely with some clouds that rolled in just as we pulled our cameras out (it was cloudless for hours before that). I’ll have a full post about it on my blog shortly.

Some of you will of course recognize this as two of the Jim Patterson Pet Rocks.

Here is another photo from the beautiful Panther Beach where we are organizing a clean up this coming Sunday. For all details, please see my previous post.
