I hope they still keep the road going west along the Finley closed and only let folks get to the river. I live about halfway between Linden and Green Bridge and launched a canoe at Linden many times.
That said, it was really a hot mess. People and plenty of them so drunk they could hardly walk cussing a blue streak and stumbling around young families with kids of a tender age just trying to enjoy the river on a sunny summer day. Sometimes I miss a guy like Buff Lamb.
I saw many times where somebody took their trash for a ride too. And not just a trashbag. A couch, old mattress, bedding you name it.
Al is right, patrol the place a lot, and hassle the ruffians. They'll get tired of it.
