Trash Tracker 2024

[Tiff Mapel]

Who wants to be a TRASH TRACKER???? Now's your chance!!

There are plenty of openings still, and most out of Bullfrog:

Trash Tracker - Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (U.S. National Park Service)

Please contact Ranger Alex if you are interested. Trips take FOUR volunteers, so get your groups together for some summer fun! Alex_Anderson@nps.gov.


Thank you!
Tiff

I have always wanted to do Trash Tracker. Sadly, I have had a lumbar spine fusion and a cervical spine fusion. Dang!!

Just curious, Strangest item ever found by Trash Trackers?

 

[Rivergoer]

Not having been on a Trash Tracker trip, here are some picks from our “unofficial” trash patrols:

Grainger De-Watering Pump


Outboard Gear Case


Drone


And if the lake ever gets down to 3530 or so, as of last week there’s a Zoleo GPS in Forgotten Canyon (Don’t ask how I know)

Had a great Trash Tracker season opener 3/28-4/1, cleaned up Padre, DR, Ice Cream, and the Rainbow Bridge trail. Collected all kinds of interesting trash including a big heavy dock float presumably knocking around the lake since the 70's—see pics, if anyone knows what this is please let me know. Still need volunteers and pilots if you're interested.

I'm going out on my inaugural Trash Tracker adventure on June 6. I'm really looking forward giving back to the lake all that it's given me.

I believe I had a Tiff and crew sighting at Stateline Auxilary ramp this morning. That was me in the maroon,gold and black G3 this morning giving you and your crew a shout out of thanks for your work. Was going to motor up to you but you were heading out and my trailer was pulling up to the ramp. The barge coming in got into the mix on my decision too! Anyway THANK YOU to You and your Crew!!! All of your labor is greatly appreciated.

Wasn't me! That was Trash Tracker trip #7, bringing their haul in to unload. My trip isn't until August.

It was great to you see the Trash Tracker up lake last week. Glad you noticed your chaser boat tow line broke and there wasn’t any wind to blow it into the rocks. We’re grateful for all you do!

@Rivergoer Did you find that drone near lone rock?

Nope, the drone pictured was found under Hole In The Roof (Rock Creek). Found another one years ago in Padre near Cookie Jar area.
