The Columbia River Kiteboarding Association (CRKG) organized a cleanup project at the Sauvie Island beach in the area frequented by kiteboarders after the 4th of July holiday. Fortunately the beach wasn't very messy from human litter, but there was a lot of storm debris and driftwood as well as a bit of litter, and a lot of kiteboarders left their gear to pitch into the project. I was asked to be the project photographer, so here are some photos!

I tried, you will note, to picture not just people picking up debris, but to picture kiteboarding people in the beautiful surroundings of the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest picking up debris...anyway, enjoy!
