Bassett Creek was not in the best shape today. With the recent rains some stuff got flushed out of the tunnel. At first I thought someone was exploring the underground tunnel that goes a mile or so through downtown, but then I realized no one was in that boat. The boat registration is there in the front and the name is partially readable. Is that SS Mustard Gas or SS Mustang Sally. Anyways it's not in the best of shape. That's an old refrigerator door floating in all the debris.
With the tree that went down last July this once scenic view will not be included in anyone's prom or wedding photo shoot any time soon. There are several large pieces of Styrofoam floating in the mix and I took one out and broke it down for the trash barrel, but that's all I could reach.
A week or two ago I was picking up some trash on this same route and was surprised by how clean it looked. When I got home I saw a Facebook post about a group of volunteers who had just picked up a couple dozen bags of trash that same morning. I think those volunteers came from several of the restaurants in the North Loop neighborhood. I must have been right behind them but never ran into them. In any case I know old broken glass can always be found around the creek if you know where to look so I worked on that.
I did manage to find this old garbage disposal in the weeds. That thing is heavier than it looks.
