Foreshore Work Party

Well under cloudy skies and dead calm winds a pretty large group of volunteers braved the rising waters of Columbia Lake to help stabilize the shoreline around the decks. Many thanks to all of those who showed up and helped load and unload rocks all morning. I think we got quite a bit done.  The next step will be to bring in some gravel but this probably won't happen until fall when the water is down.

Here is the day in pictures:

Step one, remove flooded paddle boat from the lake and drain.

Brian, having not shovelled enough all winter tries to shovel the water away from the beach.

Dave guiding the rock barge along the lake.

Pulling the rock barge to shore. The water was surprisingly warm.

Rocks, transported from down the lake, are unloaded.

Aside from playing in the dirt, guys like nothing more than throwing rocks. 

The sand from McKersie's looks like it came from a beach in Maui.

What kid (or adult for that matter) wouldn't want to build sand castles in this stuff. Too bad we couldn't get an entire beach of the stuff.

Dave monitoring the burgers.
