I’ve motorcycled on it a few times and found it exciting and semi-remote for as close as it to the city. While browsing online,… Continue reading Lost Creek Road Cleanup – 10/24/2020

River Des Peres Cleanup – 10/18/2014
We participated in the annual River Des Peres cleanup. I think it has a cooler name, but Danelle isn’t here to ask. We got there early to help setup. Corvin was creative with the sign. Once the event got going and people showed up, we ended splitting up into three groups. Danelle stayed around the… Continue reading River Des Peres Cleanup – 10/18/2014
