Creek to Bay Cleanup

A fossilized Great White Shark Tooth!

On Saturday morning a friend and I participated in the annual San Diego Creek to Bay Cleanup.  As a huge proponent of sleeping in, I was initially not crazy about the idea of getting up early on Saturday to pick up other people’s trash.  But it turned out to be a really fun and rewarding experience.

We chose Albatross Canyon because its in the hood and one of those neat little canyons that define the area.  Here’s a map. The weather was nice, we meet some neat and very dedicated people, and collected over 165lbs of trash! The coolest part however was this what my friend found in the creek bed that runs through the canyon.  A fossilized Great White Shark tooth!  A very random and cool find.

I’m tempted to return there with a backhoe and look for the rest of the shark.  Maybe I’ll just settle on going back next year for more trash/treasure.
