Moby Stick: A Dilemma

[Loony Singer]

So we went up to our Lake place for a couple of days, just to get some chores done and enjoy the nice weather. I ambled down to the dock to check things out, and what should I spy...but a very large piece of flotsam poking out from under the dock. I took a closer look, and it was one end of a VERY sizeable and waterlogged tree trunk. I'd estimate this thing to be about 2-1/2 feet in diameter, and 15-18 feet long. It's not really wedged in there...but only one end floats, and the other is on the bottom.

Which brings up the issue. What the heck do we do with this thing? It must weigh hundreds of pounds. We thought about kinda pushing it away and letting nature remove it (just kidding!!). We thought about trying to manuever the thing to the shallow water (not too hard), then hauling up on shore (very hard!) to dry out, then disposing of it. We wondered whether we could get anyone working for the town of Moultonborough to care and help out.

We're not crazy about any of these ideas so far. Anyone else have a problem like this, and/or know of a creative solution? All suggestions welcomed!
