if you think thats bad, NEVER drive through the Texas Pan handle!
We used to find trash bags dumped along the road we lived on as a kid, my step dad would stop, pick them up, look through them and find a piece of junk mail with an address on it, and the fun would begin!! We would drive to address and he would take the bag(s) up to their front door and rip them open all over the place. The three times that I got to go along with him, there was never any problems with the residents, but then again he is a 6'3" ex Navy SEAL. I am not condoning this method, but it can be very effective and entertaining if you were so inclined.....
If you and your dog went for a drive...was your doggy driving? LOL
Way to go sis!!!
Well, I didn't have much response to this and that is probably a good thing. When I contacted Linn County about cleaning up the bluffs I spoke to a very nice gentleman, Will Tucker, County Commissioner. He informed me that the turnout and bank are private property. The residents above the bluffs got tired of the drunken brawls, cars parked all along the road (huge hazard) and of course the trash. Mr. Tucker said you can access the bluffs by boat or swimming but if you access the water by the bank you will be cited for trespassing. He thinks it should be open to the public, especially fisherpersons. He said if anyone would like to submit any input he would really like to hear from you. To send any letters, opinions, etc his address is:
Will Tucker
Linn County Oregon
300 SW 4th Ave
PO Box 100
Albany, OR 97321
He also informed me there was a meeting the other night concerning Weyerhauser closing the gate to the road to the upper Calapooia. I have never fished there but they also got tired of garbage, maintaining road and liability...there is an article in the Albany Democrat Herald from Thursday 3/18/2010 that discusses in some detail the meeting and the particulars. He also said that with the signs posted, a person will be cited and will end up in court as it is criminal trespass. He also would like the publics input on this matter also. He feels that both places should be accessible to the public. It was also mentioned that it was discussed that a group could adopt the road and be responsible for keeping it clean.
Anyway, just thought I would mention this to whoever would be interested.....guess the bluffs are going to stay the way they are....
That's good to know. I was going to give the bluffs a try. Not now, it's not worth a ticket to me. As for the Calapooia. It would be quite a job to haul all the garbage people leave up there. Bunch of pigs! I don't get it. I'd rather try to get written permission to go there than open it to the public.
