Seems like the rivers around Washington DC require a period cleanup of
old cars, defunct refrigerators, worn out tires, CRT PC monitors and
other stuff that somebody must have figured was "outta sight, outta
mind". 40-million pounds of trash each year in the Anacostia River
alone- according to the attached item. (Good grief, that's almost 1-
million pounds of junk per week!)

I noticed that the WM Store in Deale, Md is participating in this
event. I think that's Harry's and John H's general neighborhood, as it
has been mentioned a time or two in posts about mooring and storing
boats. Really, you guys should be more careful! :-)



The Anacostia River is nowhere near Deale. It is a tributary of the
Potomac and empties into it just south of Washington, D.C. The Potomac
empties into Chesapeake Bay about 40 miles south of Deale.

I've attached a map.

Deale is east of the DC area, on the Bay.

The Anacostia is the east side of the wye that feeds into the Potomac,
on the left side of the map.

Unfortunately, the lower income people who live in the "Anacostia"
portion of DC have for decades dumped trash into the river there. It's
really a pretty little river with a lot of potential, if it is ever
cleaned up. The new DC baseball stadium is being built along its banks.

Perhaps you ought to stick to writing about boats built of unspecified
composites.
