- Time of past OR future Camino
- Many, various, and continuing.
The frost is on the pumpkin and the trash is glittering in the ditches... time for the Ditch Pigs Camino Cleanup Crew to strap on the neon vests and litter-picking tongs and head out into the wilds of BURGOS!
For more than ten years, volunteers from all over the world have gathered in late November/early December to spend a few days cleaning up the mess along a 100-km. stretch of Camino de Santiago. Volunteers cover their own travel expenses, and generous donors contribute to pay for food, bunks, and gas for the car. Ditch Pigs are limber and healthy enough to spend days ducking and diving on and off the roads and pathways, team players who can walk a full Camino etapa in the cold with a bagful of trash and a heart full of joy.
Our exact route and accommodations will depend on how much response I get, but there are already THREE of us committed to this year's expedition... which leaves room for TWO MORE if we use only one vehicle. More people means a quicker pickup and a longer stretch of road covered... I hope to do Santo Domingo de la Calzada to downtown Burgos, but I'm willing to start in Villafranca Montes de Oca if I gotta. This trail forks, so teamwork and good communication will be important.
Slated dates are Dec. 1 through 4 or 5. Check your calendars and think about joining the hard core of Camino volunteers!
