Troupville Boat Ramp Water Trail Signs back up 2019-01-15

Three tasks at once at Troupville Boat Ramp last Tuesday! Scotti Jay picked up trash, while Sara Jay did water quality testing (you, too can learn to do that). Then while Sara finished up Scotti and I replanted the signs for the Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail (WLRWT).

These are the same signs Julie Bowland reported missing during the December floods. In our posthole she found this Valdosta warning sign.

Scotti and Sara rescued the WLRWT signs from the river on Christmas Eve.

We have the sign and post. With Sara Jay., The river taketh, the river giveth...

And now the signs are replanted, with quite a bit of concrete and rocks, encouraging people who care about our rivers to explore the Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail.

Maybe you’d like to join us at Troupville Boat Ramp in two weeks as we paddle to US 84.
