Cleanup is done!

Here is a cleanup report from one of the INFO crew folks who was there until the end. I would love to hear other perspectives as well.

Some final Clean Up photos.....the Clean Up Crew rolls out in the morning.
The Meadow photos are mostly of Boogie pit and Dinner Circle area and Meadow trails. Ferns now waist high and shoulder high in most areas. Dragonflies gone but Butterflies are here.
Wild Turkey back and no bear problems with digging our compost.
Unfortunately lots of Clean Up crew tested positive for lymes.
The Crew did great with 12 hour+ work days and lots of tick problems.
Peace and Blessings from some of our Clean Up gang.
All looks great and FS loved it.
I'm in Iron river for the Blueberry Festival before I hit the scenic roadway.
Peace and Love from the hard kicking Crew.

Another person's feedback on cleanup

Cleanup crew's final night in the woods was last night.
Cleanup went very smooth with little complications.
We planned a few hundred trees and seeded dozens of acres and trails.
Locals have been coming by and praising the good job we have been doing as well.

And here's some of the cleanup photos. Sites aren't labeled so you'll have to guess which spot in the gathering is in the photo. (Click on photo to enlarge).

The question really becomes what products do I use to capture my menstrual flow that does is easy to manage. The first key is that there is no trash service at the gathering. If you bring something to the gathering, then you are responsible to take it home with you.  That means planning ahead is key. Many sanitary napkins are made with petroleum based plastic products and therefore are not biodegradable.  Non-biodegradable items need to be hauled out of the gathering.
