San Marcos River Cleanup, April 2nd

[putawaywet]

9 am at the Lions club in San Marcos. Raffles dinner and music after.
Anyone up for it?

How is it being set up?

Do we just show up somewhere?

Do they tell us were to go?

Is there a contact for divers?

Yep, I'm interested but it needs to be well organized because that is a heck of a drive home on a sunday evening.

That's about all I know at the moment. Nothing at all on the web about it but calling The Dive Shop today to get details.
512-396-DIVE
Could actually be April 1st.
Crap, hang on I'll look for details.

Found this on the Cities website.
'April 1st not 2nd.'

Even checked the San Marcos River Foundation and they had no mention of it.
Not much else. Still, call the Dive Shop or the City of San Marcos.
I'll post if I find anymore info..

Doesn't sound organized.

We went last year. Just showed up and signed up. It wasn't overly organized but that was part of why I enjoyed it. The dive shop gave some good prizes and the food was good. But it's nothing like Trash Fest and shouldn't be compared to it.

Called the shop and the city.

"cancelled"

Headed for Utopia.
Sorry for the misinformation.

The falls at Rio Vista Dam is being torn down and a big chuck of the river is closed.
The river is really low, most of it being about two feet in depth. The city and The Dive Shop have decided to cancel the Trashurer Hunt for the first time in 25 years.

That's sort of sad. But 2ft wouldn't even get our tanks wet! Everything is low around here, too.

Do you have more info on this? What'd they bust up the dam for?
