Huge thanks to everyone who came out for the Cascadilla gorge clean up today. You all carried on a tradition that is decades old, going all the way back to the founders of COE's Gorgeous Gorge Gorillas. As always, prize to the weirdest thing that came back over the fence. This year we have a tie between Andrew's absolutely new, still in the package, copy of 107 Days by Kamala Harris and Jerry's No Parking sign, complete with post.
