One Mile Branch Cleanup & Paddle to Spook Bridge

A first for WWALS: an urban cleanup! One Mile Branch runs right through the heart of the biggest city in the Suwannee River Basin (Valdosta) and through the biggest educational institution in the Basin (Valdosta State University). It has some trash, and you can help WWALS come get it!
Where: One Mile Branch, through the heart of Valdosta and VSU.
Bring: Gloves, boots, sturdy clothing, trash pickers, and we’ll supply trash bags.
Start:

We're meeting at VSU CORE, 1300 Sustella Ave., Valdosta, GA 31698. West of VSU on Baytree Ave., your first left is Sustella Ave.; follow that across One Mile Branch, and CORE is on your right, across from Sunset Hill Cemetery.

After the One Mile Branch Cleanup (http://wwals.net/blog/2017/09/04/one-mile-branch-cleanup-valdosta-ga-2017-11-11/) let’s head west on US 84 to the Withlacoochee River and paddle (or hike) downstream to Spook Bridge: if you’ve seen the locally-made movie (http://www.spookbridge.com/), come see the bridge! In between we may see the river part of Wade Spring, and we will see the railroad bridge and the old, closed, Blue Springs road bridge, aka Spook Bridge. Then we will paddle (or hike) upstream to the Sabal Trail pipeline crossing, also less than a quarter mile. If you don’t want to do either, we will tell you how to get to Spook Bridge by land to greet us when we get there.
