Cleaned out the trash boom on the canal south of Summit Lake and then a lap around the lake proper.
49 pounds of trash in 4 bags isn’t too bad for a 40 degree day in winter and this view was my reward!

Had to pull out “the guns” for 253 pounds of trash this morning that made it downstream on Mud Run when our booms blew out from the flooding. (We repaired them yesterday).
We do have some fun and really appreciate the waves and words of encouragement from folks passing by. Tomorrow at 8 am, we will be on Summit Lake around the Nature Center adding secondary booms there. (Too much trash coming through the storm sewers on heavy rain events). A big Thank You to Summit Metro…
