Megler Rest Area Clean Up

At 8 am on Monday, May 18th, we will meet at the Megler Rest Area on Highway 101, just east of the Astoria Bridge to enjoy muffins and juice and organize our day. We plan to walk the shoreline near Knappton Cove, pick up trash, and learn about the Corps of Discovery’s wet and rainy time here in November of 1805.

From there, if time, weather and tides allow, we will move onto Chinook Park just east of Chinook, WA for the same adventure!
At some point in the day, we’ll relax, have lunch, and enjoy our day’s work!
Jim Sayce has agreed to plan the day, provide commentary and trash bags.

You will want to bring:

• the appropriate clothes for mid-May weather on the lower Columbia River
• sturdy work gloves and shoes
• a picker-upper/grabber for trash
• a hearty lunch
• a walking pole [if you want one]
• Washington State Parks Discover Pass

Muffins and juice and water and cookies will be provided!

If you know a student who needs community service hours for school, their youth group and etc., bring them along!

Please RSVP to Rennie Kubik at [stzeam41@gmail.com](mailto:stzeam41@gmail.com); if enough people plan to come down Sunday evening and/or to stay over Monday night, we may try to plan a visit to a local museum or another social activity!
