A Beautiful Place with Disgusting Garbage



The bridge at Waddell Creek, up the coast where we did
Clean up your Creek last weekend.




This is the view when you get out from under the bridge.
We went through the shallow water to get to an old rotten tree; we sat on it.

This is the view from the log.

Another photo of the log.

My dad holding an icky piece of garbage that he found in the brush.

My dad walking down the beach next to the river.

Me looking at a piece of garbage in the middle of the beach.

Me wading through a shallow part of the creek.

My dad climbed and clambered over rocks and through grasses
to get to an old Cheetos bag.

So did I !

My dad walking through the sand dunes to look for trash.

I was happy that I could make this beautiful beach and creek a little cleaner !

Our Special Projects

Today my grandpa, my dad and I went to Soquel creek near Nob Hill to take out the grocery cart we found last Clean up your creek.


Another grocery cart just thrown in last night; we took it to Nob Hill.

A view of where the old grocery cart is next to Nob Hill.

After that we went to Aptos creek to pull out another cart we found two Clean up your creeks ago.

We dropped off the carts at the Buena Vista landfill.

We had to roll the carts off the edge of the cliff into the bin.

I made a photo of a recycle bin.

We picked up some mulch because my grandpa needed some.
