Default It might have been a snow fence; however...

Not "upthesuakee" or "gh" here, but you might have seen a "silt fence".

In my post last week, a "silt fence" appears across the bottom of the photograph. (At least parts of it appear above the mud).

A "Silt Fence" can be defined as a DES requirement to give the appearance that the state cares about mud flowing into Lake Winnipesaukee at construction sites. However, I have a collection of photographs that show the black plastic is mere "window-dressing".

The worst example shows the entire silt fence residing in the lake.

They are hap-hazardly installed: some don't even touch the ground. The ones that do touch the ground are pushed -- with mud --into the lake by rain storms. The sudden appearance of added hay bales is a sign that somebody has complained about it.

Grrr.
