Mike Schaeffer picks up trash on the TART Trail near Five Mile Road, one of ten locations of Saturday's spring work bees along sections of the 60 mile trail system in the Grand Traverse area. "It's almost impossible to keep up with the cigarette butts," said Jim Steckley, who was also working with the group. Steckley added that last year they found about 100 little empty bottles of vodka on a 50 yard stretch, but this year found only one.
