Rafters disappeared from
this mile of shoreline years ago. I think Johnson's Cove in Wolfeboro is still relatively clean. (I have to go look).
I still think the State should create an island by dumping sand on the ice in some protected location that would benefit rafters...but you've brought up a trashy recollection from last year:
I scooped a Budweiser beer can out of the lake before it sank; however, the can was factory sealed—couldn't sink—but was only half full! What kind of beer purchaser throws beer into the lake?
Anyway, the beer can (the one that
still needs spearing
) could have been whipped out of somebody's boat by the wind—just as in cases where we see boaters circling back to retrieve other lost items.
My point was that Winnipesaukee's lakesides are nearly completely residential in nature. Noise and aesthetics count where the "View Tax" has to be paid—and it's not just residential roadsides that have to be picked up, but the lakesides too.
