Newport River paddle, Saturday, July 31, 2004

Gary Scruggs attended a meeting at the Carteret County Commissioners recently. They approved the desnagging of this river up to Lake Road. This is great news.

Gary has planned a trip from his house on the Newport. This will not be a desnagging trip. Just a regular trip like we always do to pick up all trash. Here are his plans.

Meet at my house  at 9:00 A.M. 209 Jessica Ln in Newport and we'll take it from there what we do will depend on how many people show up.  If there are enough we can split into two groups --one going downstream and one upstream. If only a few show up we will just do up stream. water level permitting
  directions to my house from hwy 70 go down Nine Foot rd past the Food Lion about 1/4 of a mile. You will see a yellow house for sale on the right. On the left you will see a road sign saying "Heather Ave." turn left.. go one block turn left this will be Jessica ln. Mine is the last trailer on the left. You can't miss it.
  From hwy 24  turn left at the closed BP station go up Nine mile rd approximately  nine miles, bear right at the produce stand  onto Nine Foot rd. go roughly 3.5 miles and look for Heather ave on the right. turn onto Heather Ave. Go one block turn left onto Jessica. go to end my trailer is the last one on the left.
  As stated above we will make clean-up plans when we see how many people show up.
Thanks again.  My cell phone # is  252-622-9024.
