We joined Aaron Babcock's inaugural Illinois River clean-up trip in 2019 with a mission to paddle the wilderness canyon and remove as much trash as possible. We had good flows for a cleanup mission, a great crew, awesome weather, and we pulled out over 1,000 pounds of trash. And there was some obligatory carnage, but thankfully no injuries or damage.
