Came up once again this weekend to "escape" and took a ride Saturday into Merideth to see how many ( if any) Bob houses were left as there are still a few brave ones (nutz) here in Saunders Bay.
Although we have been coming to the Lake for 25+ years, we have never been around in this part of the season ( ice starting to melt).
Perhaps a natural and repatative problem each year, my wife & I were quite dissapointed by the amount of clutter ( garbage) left in the wake of the removed Bob houses on Merideth Bay. Dozens of small pine trees (2-4 ft high), blocks (4x4, 6x6) of solid wood, piles of ash from firepits, etc. i just don't understand.... If you were able to take the Bob house safely off the lake.... WHY IN GOD'S NAME... wouldn't you clean up your "yard".
On the other hand as one who has continually boated early in the season... I fully understand NOW how all the boating hazards/debris gets there in the first place.
I am by no means super environmentalist type, those who know me can certainly confirm THAT, we have gas guzzling cars, power boats, etc..... But we are ALL caretakers to this ( and any ) lake. When boating we great care when "rafting" not to leave anything behind.
This is just plain WRONG & SHAMEFUL !

This morning on my way through town, I looked out into the bay and there was a group of volunteers on sno mobiles out on the lake cleaning up ALL the debris left at all the ice fishing sites. They were putting the trash onto a sled and dragging it all back to the ramp where they were loading it onto a pickup truck. I hope someone snaps a picture of these people and posts their names as I am sure a lot of people here would love to thank them
