Spring to Sandtrap is a canoe expedition and the beginnings of a national docu-journey of the Rivers of America. This adventure traces the journey that water takes through the Sacramento River and State Water Project; from the pristine springs of Mount Shasta, to the lush green fairways and sandtraps in the golf courses of Southern California.
While driving down the 113, we noticed a fire to the side of the offramp and quickly pulled over and called 911. The fire chief said it was most likely caused by someone throwing a cigarette butt out the window. The passenger in the truck that day was Manase Mansur from Surfrider and he promotes a campaign entitled "Hold On To Your Butt" that aims to prevent pollution through cigarette butt litter and also the damage that flaming embers cause to property. Once the authorities were called, we took the opportunity to promote this campaign with the visual evidence of the damage of a "wildfire" caused by an irresponsible smoker throwing their butt out the window. If you see someone do this, you can report them to the authorities by calling 1-877-211-2888 and providing their license plate to the CHP.
