Took that tire out of Cheval Blanc woods.

Nov 25, 2011

Snow melted, so did some cleaning at the nearby park.
Only one bag. There is a lot of garbage IN a tree-bush . Placed there on purpose.
I should take a photo.
In this park, I once found a plastic bag full of those foam peanuts made for packaging fragile items.
Some one had purposely placed it there, waiting for the bag to break open one day to make a huge mess.
Some kind of humor.
Today saw a woman smile at the bus stop after I visually caught her dumping trash on the ground. Did she do this (smile) trick for her parents when she did something wrong?
I have seen those tiny ketchup and mayonnaise (fast food) packs placed on the ground, where people will "accidentally" step on them. One time waiting in line for the bus, the bus arrived and ran over some kind of package or container. The packaging under compression from the bus then squirted a liquid of some kind all over us waiting in line. It was funny? People were mad.

It snowed!
So it means the cleaning season for the year 2011 is over.
I might get one more day in this weekend, as they predict it will be warm. We will have to see what happens.

One medium bag of garbage collected from the shoreline of Cheval Blanc, and leftovers from the bed I had removed in the summer.

To my surprise , no one had burnt the wood of the bed frame I had left on the shoreline (where I had found it).

The people who have fireplace parties only burn Real wood, not that Fake wood. (sarcastic joke, its all wood)

Nov 21 , 2011

Some leftovers at the roofing material pile (previous post of Nov 18th) had to cleaned up, and the last of the white desk.

Walked in the first swamp coming from the east side (its dry now) and picked up plastic bottles ( in yellow bag), then found THIS large tire. This is the fourteenth tire I have found in Cheval Blanc Rapid woods if I recall properly.
This tire is not out of the swamp yet. I rolled-moved it to the lower east-west trail.

.

.Rusted metal ? hot water heater on shoreline

.Rusted object closer

.Rusted object at trash bin. Folded in half.

Two medium garbage bags full of garbage from the shoreline in the area. Lots of old tangled fishing line caught on the shore. Found what looked like a shirt for water skiing and a pair of shoes, besides the plastic bags, beer cans, beer bottles etc.

Nov 19, 2011

Picked this up today at Cap St Jacques, where I cleaned before and made a webpage of it.
Notice the Old fashioned stubby beer bottle. "The stubby beer bottle was Canada's nationial beer bottle from 1961 to 1984."

Second trip up from the shoreline , large pieces of glass on top of a car's hubcap.

Picnic area clean.

I had not been to this part of the park in years. On my"assholes and idiots" page I have a photo of a boarded up outhouse (Nov 8, 2008) that got me very angry. I had to use the toilet, and it was unavailable. In three years passing, I've finally forgot/forgave the event.
I discovered lots of garbage from drunks. Lots of beer bottles and crap.

Large garbage bag filled with garbage. Good thing it was a short walk to the bin.

Nov 18, 2011

Garbage in the top photograph was collected at point A in the Cheval Blanc woods, then carried and dragged to point B, where the city has a garbage bin.
I'm following the arbitrary rules of garbage pick-up / disposal.

At point "A" in the woods, there is a roof size worth of old roofing tiles. Not rotting. Too much for myself to take out. This large amount of garbage needs a truck to be removed.
Today I took out the garbage that brought attention to the area. This means items that are visual, white or colorful plastic and paint.
The white (in photo of garbage) is from a rotten desk of some sort. White metal runners for a sliding drawer/keyboard.

I found painted wood rotting near by. The wood is biodegrading/returning back to earth, but I presume the paint is LEAD based. So the animals that live and grow in the area will likely have lead poisoning.

This crime will be untraceable to the idiots who dumped the garbage there in the first place.
The polluters children don't have to eat the lead paint , so they are fine.
Makes me think of a bunch of monkeys running a nuclear power-plant.

The city is unaccountable for the pollution on its land.
1) Proof it is poison, costs money for the scientific lab tests.
2) Time in court to prove it legally.
3) Taxpayer has to pay the cost of clean-up (moving it to another location)

The Forrest is eating up the old garbage up well, I have to say. Only invisible pollution will be left. People will be able to walk the area with their dogs, or use the area recreationally.

A couple of rusted metal sheets near the sandy beach area in Cheval Blanc woods. A collection of ducks on the river shoreline were nervous that I was there. I forgot to take a (physical) photo of the areas beauty, but I have a bit in my mind-memory.

Nov 16 , 2011

.A combination of Nov 13 th work and Nov 16 th work of picking up garbage in the woods of Cheval Blanc Rapids.

.Two more black garbage bags filled with garbage for a total of five.

.Fishing rod , white metal chair leg bent, rusted piece of round tube steel, and a black garbage bag filled with garbage.

First two bags of the day. Two black garbage bags filled with garbage.

Nov 13, 2011

End of the work . Four bags of garbage.

Pile of garbage left in a random spot. I picked it up.

First two bags of garbage and a long black piece of plastic.

Lead plate from a battery far away ( can not be seen)

Lead plate from inside of a battery. up close.

At Cheval Blanc woods today. I cleaned up two fireplaces. As in removed the garbage and threw the campfire-fireplace stones in random locations.

I picked up a remainder of the carbon batteries at the tree with exposed roots with large cavities near the sandy beach . Cleaned up the camp site near sandy beach area. It still needs one more large garbage bag worth of cleaning.

Picked up several glass beer bottles. The deposit on those glass bottles should go up to a dollar.
I find so many glass beer bottles it isn't funny.
Everyone (going on a drunk) will then buy canned beer, which is good.

Four bags of garbage in total. Oh ya took out the large plastic tarps one orange, one white.

Considering removing he rotting plywood at the swamp as it obviously is un-natural. But then in spring people wont be able to pass by, so haven't decided yet.

The area needs a couple more hours of work of cleaning, besides getting rid of the engine block in the swamp.

Nov 12,2011

Some kind of oil on top of the water in the swamp. The area is near (one of) the old engine, and car parts. a
20 second video on youtube.

Took out a old tire out of the woods of Cheval blanc. The tire was in the eastern most swamp.
_______________

An old collection of eight ? tires I took out of the woods.

Nov 10-11, 2011

No photos. I decided to take out what metal I could out of the swamp.
I loaded up my old backpack and took some by hand.
The bushes and trees tried to grab the metal out of my hands a few times (joking), it got caught in the branches several times while walking the west east trail on the north side of Cheval blanc woods.

I am trying to figure out how to get the engine block out.
I was thinking on an inflatable boat, but the engine is very heavy. It might be un floatable.
Next thought is a Dolly, a thing on wheels, but I know the pathway, the pathway is too uneven for a standard Dolly.
So it looks like a homemade dolly. Maybe over a couple of days. Moving it a certain distance over the days.
If you don't give up the fight you cant lose.

small bag of garbage at the cheval blanc rapids park



Picked up some asphalt on the shoreline at cheval blanc. A near infinite amount of asphalt is there so this is kind of like three straws picked up out of a million to go.

Nov 8th , 2011

Cheval blanc rapids heavy bag because it was full of wet cloths. Why did someone dump clothing and the black garbage bag? Who knows?
In addition to the clothing I stuffed in a bit of garbage that I found on my walk up and down the riverbank.
On the riverbank , some one had a camp-fire and broke a bottle of alcohol. This was close to the three benchs in the park spot.

Cheval blanc woods the lower east- west pathway along the train tracks.

.Cap St Jacques walking up to farm collected this garbage.

.More garbage walking to farm, photo is at the farm in front of the dumpster.

.Collected trash from the shoreline near the farm, near entropy/stairs photo.
Debated if I should keep the bucket for future possible use picking up glass, but decided to put it with the garbage.
