Huge Dock Removal



This 1500 pound waterlogged monster deck has bugged me for a year.



10 of us took it out yesterday with a lot of hard work and cooperation
 plus we had all the right stuff to do this job right.

We had folks from the TAPC, BRCS, Kalkaska Conservation District,
Adams Chapter Trout Unlimited, Bethlehem Lutheran Church and the general
public to help do this project.  We also were able to use the property of
Shel-Haven Canoe Livery and the property owner to access the site.

Shel-Haven let us use his dumpster for disposal.  THANK YOU Todd!!!!!



Now it looks like this:

Thanks to everyone who helped get this monster deck out of the beautiful
Upper Manistee River.
