There was no unusual weather prior to this clean up.

While a golf ball may not be unusual, we pulled 12 total from this area. People apparently taken to using this as golf practice. Not good.

I didn't get a picture of the other shoe but we did collect them. On one side we were happy not much was found, but we are coming out of winter so I am real eager to see in a few months if any changes occur.

Thank you Aware people for all you do and collecting the data that you do!
