Met with other Prince George Rotarians and Keith Rotzoll, Prince George Parks & Recreation Department this morning at the Appomattox River Regional Park to look at the site for the canoe/kayak launch the PG Rotary is proposing in conjunction with the Friends of the Lower Appomattox River (FOLAR) and the PG Parks & Rec. Dept. Here are Lonnie Kitchen (L) and Earl Hale (Middle) both PG Rotarians and Keith Rotzoll from the Prince George Parks and Recreation Department.
Jack, my black and white Aussie, came along and enjoyed a few dips in the Appomattox before it is all over.
Prince George is bounded on the northwest and the north by the Appomattox and James Rivers which have their confluence at or near City Point in Hopewell. PG has one of the longest river frontages of any locality, but has no public access to either river.
If our club can pull of this project this canoe/kayak launch will be the first such public access in the county on either river. Keith at the Parks & Rec Department would like to ultimately see an education pavilion or water safety and tidal river ecology/conservation classes. We're a long way away.
Me, I will help with all, even the build on the steep slope, but now I'm working on two Rotary related grants to get the see money to help all of this happen. Yes, I still lawyer a little, cook quite a bit, try to read every chance I get and, oh, yes, I'm trying to learn to blog. I'm viewing as keep a diary and no one will ever have interest in what I'm writing.
