Each club was assigned a section of the Trail. Shoreline and Lake Forest Park Rotary clubs took care of the Trail from N 200th at Echo Lake Park to N 165th at Darnall Park behind Aqua Quip on Aurora.

The weather wasn't any worse than it usually is - gray and drizzly - and the volunteers soldiered on, in good spirits.

Rotary set up a tent at Echo Lake Park to sign people in and give them supplies - trash bags, buckets, and grabbers provided by the City of Shoreline.

Gloves, sharps containers and small tongs were supplied by Evergreen Hospital Emergency Department, and water was supplied by the North City Water District.

They worked their way south 15 blocks, behind Sky Nursery, and then to the green space between City Hall and Aurora marked by the giant snail.
