This (what's pictured) just flat out pist me off. I was ranting out loud, cussing up a storm. Since it was early, and raining, not a soul was out there, except the birds and animals.

I just don't get it. The lake isn't so large that it can absorb all this crap and refuse, without it having a detrimental effect on the fish, birds and animals living there, not to mention the PEOPLE WHO EAT THE FISH.

Especially the fishing gear, I mean, if you're planning on eating what comes out of that lake, you would think the folks would try to keep it halfway clean. Someone, most likely the County Parks dept. and a few dedicated citizens who care about the lake, are cleaning up weekly. I've hit the Douglas Rd. north shore a few times because of all the trash from passing motorists, and man, is there a lot of trash that blows in there. I decided that I needed to wear waders and pants the next time I'm trudging around out there, as well as gas myself with Off bug spray.
Last time I was out there cleaning up, I came back bitten and scratched, so common sense takes over, always:
  • wear pants and long sleve shirt
  • bring along trash tongs
  • wear gloves
  • bring a pair of waders/rubber boots
And last of all, check in with park about getting some trash bads and get permission to dump what I collect in the parking lot dumpster. All I need is to get the Polizei on my case for anonymous dumping.
