As many of you old timers here on OGF know, i used to hold a Mosquito Lake Causeway clean up every year back in the days. Well im planning a mid summer clean up in Sept on the second weekend on Sept 12th wich is a Saturday. Like always, ill contact the city, county and state for trash removal along the causeway and support in trash bags and the support for the causeway. Back in the days we have always had great support and people showing up to help out. Causeway bait and Tackle was always a huge help in notifiying the community! if anyone is interested in helping out, please post... and remember, masks and gloves will be needed to be worn!!!!

I may be wrong , please correct me if I am. ODOT used to empty the trash barrels on the causeway, then the state removed the trash barrels to save on $$ spent. IDEALLY, everyone should take their trash, plus an extra bag home ! I wish the state would step up on this, and at least put the barrels back. I went over the causeway yesterday, and it appeared they were working to correct erosion? I would think a little more could be spent on CONVENIENCE items, such as trash barrels. John

I can get $250 and 25 T-shirts to fund a service project....The money can be used towards trash bags, gloves, food and beer. (And a door prize or two or three). Are there grills behind Causeway to do some grilling? Brats?

We have always had a great time doing it. alot of laughs and support from the city. Just dont open the container like i did one year and puked all over the place!!!! lol... But im gonna call causeway tomorrow and talk to them and see if they can help out on a few things, see if we can use a part of their property for a bbq or what not and see if the would help support the clean up up on their sign for help with it. Should be a fun time if everyone comes out

I'll be at mosquito after work tomorrow for a water run. I'll check with causeway bait & scope out parks on SE side of lake and let you know. If yellow dog comes through, that would probably be the best location. I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope for causeway bait though, I just don't get that vibe the last couple years.

I checked for a get together place. Bazatta park is closed due to covid. Mosquito state park has a pavilion and grill at beach on south end. Due to covid no reservations. First come, first serve.

Newly registered to the site. Planning to attend the clean-up w/2 others.
Is there anything we can provide for the effort other than manpower?
Welcome to OGF! Just show up with a smile!
