Reasonable isn't roping off the water. Asking for help is.
The lake is a resource for ALL to enjoy not just the select few who buy up the land then rope off the water so none can come near them.
The lake has over 10,000 boats on it and the numbers are growing each year. We all have a right to use the lake. I agree with people who have problems with boaters anchoring in front of their homes.
I wouldn't have said anything, but to go around the island roping off all the sandy area's well I just disagree with that and still believe it to be a selfish act. These areas’s are not even near the owner’s home so they cannot complain about boats in their front yard. I and my fellow boaters would not even think of swimming to someone’s raft or anchoring off someone’s front porch. All many of us want is a little peace and quiet away from it all.
As for trash, well you live on an island, it blows in DU... You will probably continue to find trash that is blown out of boats and land on the shore.
I have never seen anyone throw trash in at Timber.
Sorry my reply was harsh but I stand by what I said. Money does seem to breed arrogance
