OBEY RIVER GROTTO
BEFORE
AFTER
Obey River Grotto's first attempt at cleaning up where Tennessee highway 85 crosses the
Obey River Gorge. (See pics below)
The bridge has been grossly littered for many years. Much more work is needed, but this
was a good start.
Thanks to Brent Smith, Jeff Garrett, and Marc Smith (who also provided the truck).
Future cleanups will be posted here when they take place. Check back, cause any help
would be greatly appreciated.

The Obey River Grotto met between 8 and 9am at
the Bridge on 85 over the Obey River Gorge.
It seems someone during the summer had thrown
several items (a couple of console tv's, a computer
monitor, vcrs, toys and numerous other items) off of
the middle of the bridge into the river bed.
The 5 of us, (Danielle Poore, Brent Smith, Jeff
Garrett, Marc Smith, and Angela Rector) removed
the mess from the river bed as well as a mound of
wet carpet and padding along with various other
items from the pull off on the east side of the bridge.
Thanks to all who participated.
