Marina Clean Up

Better a late update than never, I guess. . . .

On February 11th we joined a bunch of folks down at Richardson Park Marina to clean up the Eurasian Milfoil that's infesting the marina.  Scott Coleman had worked with the county parks folks and got us permission from the Corps of Engineers to remove it . . . by hand.  No tools allowed. 

The marina looks weird with the docks out and no water. 


All that standing water is full of tiny milfoil plants.  


I finally figured out why the depth sounder freaks out on the way into the marina sometimes . . . Stump central!


There's some artsy trash too . . .


All the muck they pulled out got handed up the embankment to Deborah and some other folks . . .




Who dumped it in a trailer to be hauled off


After a while we took a break and headed up to the shelter where the park hosts were hosting a bbq for everyone.



We bugged out after lunch as we had a prior commitment back in town.  We did get a few interesting pictures on the way home though.

There were swans on the north side of Meadowview Road.


and there were Bald Eagles outside Harrisburg!
