On Saturday, Sept. 11 at 10 AM, we  met at the Des Moines River boat ramp off highway 30 in Boone.  There were 15 people and 8 boats on the trip.  We got the access and the river down to Sportsman's nicely cleaned up.

Boone County Conservation Board had a dumpster at the access to assist us in our efforts.  Boone County has endorsed the Des Moines River Canoe and Kayak Trail.  We  showed our support for the Des Moines River in this clean-up effort.
