The Capital complex is about 5 blocks from where I work. You are all over my neck of the woods. We fish several bass tournaments from the ramp just up stream from that bridge. (I hate the river....nasty!!!!! Once caught an 8 oz fish, a woman's shoe and a dirty diaper)
Hello Lisa,
I was pleasently surprised as we drove around te area and especially Charleston. We didn't see much liter, grafitti, etc.
There are a lot of areas in the USA that are worse. I'm sure that we could have found some with a little effort.
New River and the Kanawha River are joined to be one of the few major north flowing rivers in the world... starting in North Carolina, through Virginia, across West Virginia to connect with the Ohio River at Pt Pleasant. At one time in drained all of the chemical and sanitary sewage in the area from start to end.
When I lived on the river bank 40 years ago I could set a sheet of newspaper on fire, toss it on the river, and the surface of the river would briefly catch on fire across from the St Albans Road Side Park (where we have been parking at night).
Now it is clean enough that you can catch bass, even have Bass fishing clubs... I agree, it is dispicable that you can catch a dirty diaper that had been discarded by some low life. Maybe some poor woman lost her shoe when her canoe over turned :S
I wish that we had met you and your family while we were there.
