Fast food trash...gum wrapper...beer can...SNAKE?!?!

That's how it goes when you're picking up trash on Clark Lane in Columbia. You never know what you'll find!
 
Luckily, 9 brave Socketeers put their phobias aside and went out this week to clear the litter from our Adopt-a-Spot stretch of roadway.
 
23 bags of trash to be exact.
 
They even found a possum in a bag!
 
At least our volunteers got to enjoy some lovely fall weather. And hopefully by our next cleanup, the critters will all be hibernating for the winter.
