Suggesting to those who may be within a comfortable driving distance of Ivy Mountain (south of Prestonburg, Kentucky and the main encounter of the Big Sandy Expedition) that we gather to do a cleanup of the memorial area. This would include picking up trash, cleaning the interpretive panels, cleaning the memorial obelisk itself, raking the grounds, spreading some grass seed, scraping the dirt accumulation from the parking lot, and straightening the parking curbs. We could make this an American Battlefield Trust Park Day event, but I personally could not make the April 6th date as I am doing a different Park Day event on that date. I also live 3+ hours from the memorial, so I would have to plan a date where I can make it (a Saturday perhaps in late April or mid-May). The interpretive panels need to be replaced as well, but that is another topic.
We would need flat shovels, grass seed, cleaning materials (I have some stuff that will clean the monument that is safe for the environment), rakes, maybe even some pruners for the brush line near the river.
Is anyone interested? If we had a decent turnout, we could really make some improvements to this site, and grab a well-earned adult libation after. Comment here or send me a message.
