Cleanup the hill under Limnkiln Rd by the bus turnaround North of Mt. Lock (approximately milepost 68). We have done this event in April of 2018 and 2019, but took a covid break in 2020. The county has been gracious enough to haul away whatever we collect. This hill has historically been used as a dumping area (see Mike High's book on the C and O). We collected a dump truck full of tires and another full of other debris in 2018. The quantity of dumping has declined thankfully, but there is still work to do.
