Definate first find....took a long time

From: (FreeloadingFeret@aol.com) | Date: 2004-09-13 18:09:23 UTC-04:00

I just wanted to relay a story to the group, something that happened to me
this past Saturday. While doing volunteer work with the Hackensack Riverkeeper
here in Jersey a group of us were boated on to the salt marshes in Secaucus to
pick up trash which consists mostly of bottles, tires, paper, when I looked
down and screamed "I found a message in a bottle!" I tried to get the paper out
but it started to disintegrate. I could read some of what it said from the
outside since the bottle was clear. The person who wrote the paper dated it
1973! It's been sitting there 31 years!! I've been interviewed by New12 and it
will air tonight at 10.
It was just an exciting thing to find, just like finding a letterbox,
although not following any clues but intending for someone to find. : )

Cool! Hey, were you at the Bcuks county Bluegrass festival in August? That was a fundraising event for the Riverkeeper.

No, I think that might have been the Hudson Riverkeeper. I don't know too
much about them but I think they are brethren.

OOOh, how Dartmoor!
