Hello everyone and welcome to fall!   It is always a great time of year when the leaves start to change colors, the animals store food for the coming months and the landscape changes to ready itself for  winter.  On the Mississippi River, our barge will be moving south for the colder months.  Beginning in November, we will host...

Thats a wonderful story and something that should be applauded. Thank you for doing what so many won't. I live near Starved Rock State Park in Illinois and am constantly on the river banks there cleaning up fisherman's mess. I fish myself so I know why you wouldn't want to pollute the waters of where you fish, but ultimately I can't blame the people out there, most are the homeless population I am trying to help. They care less about the society because they society cares laess about them. Anyway again thank you for caring when most others won't. Good luck in all you ventures.

In the Spring of 2003 I met Nat Stone, author of On the Water, Discovering America in a Rowboat, when he came to Pittsburgh to start the Tireless Project with a focus on reclaiming tires in a local facility where they separate rubber and steel, recycling both... He told me of your work and we planned to come visit you... You may be interested in the evolution of our work into ATM & RiverCubes. I have tried to contact you several times and hope to collaborate with you. I can be reached @ bob@rivercubes.net
