Just two days ago Maverick posted a message about the annual Lake Martin Clean up taking place on Saturday from 8:00 - noon. There were no responses to his post but plenty of responses to other posts including saving Sand Island.
That is a worthy goal and will take a heck of a lot more time, money, and effort than participating on Saturday. How about WE ALL DO BOTH.

I clean the lake EVERY time I go out on it. I participated one year way back, but was very disappointed in what went on. I thought we were gathering to clean the lake but instead were sent up and down county roads to pick up trash. Maybe that was the idea and I just misunderstood, but it left me with a not so warm and fuzzy feeling. I haven't participated since then, not in the organized clean up anyway. Like I have said many times, I clean up continuously.
I am sure it is a worthy effort, but I choose to clean up in my own way.

For some of us, EVERY day is Lake Martin Clean-up Day.
Not that I think it's a bad idea to set aside special days for such a thing; obviously, LMC-UD is needed.

With the lake down, I've been able to wade out and pull up all sorts of crap out of the lake that I wouldn't bother with in the cold of the winter. Everybody should take advantage of the low water to do a clean up.

but we get a lot of trash on roads leading to the Lake house. What's really sad commentary is that there are people who are so trashy they just dispose of trash in this manner. I pick up a lot of trash, but perhaps another item for HOBO's is whether APCO does anything to help with the problem. I know the lake is too large for them to take on full responsibility, but would like to see more visibilty to the issue

I usually find one or two bags of trash thrown out along or just off CR 34 after a big holiday. There is usually contact information in the bags..yes I have sifted thru the oogie mess just to be able to call them and give them a choice of returning to the lake and retrieve their garbage or have it turned over for enforcement of the $500 penalty.....they almost always claim it fell out of their vehicle somehow....needless to say they don't like me.....don't care, they're scumbags....usually wealthy scumbags.....

It is a shame but a lot of the roads, as well as the lake, are littered badly. I do my part by retrieving some of it. We don't have many folks throwing their crap out of the window in Tallahassee.
(I still like the lake best!)

You also probably do not see all the advertising and personal crap nailed to trees and every available pole on the public right of ways in Tallahassee or any other city or town. Most have laws which will prosecute you for such a crime.
I guess I would rather face a Court of Law than have to confront Big Foot on less than friendly terms.

it's a pretty low life that throws their tash along the roads, the lake, etc. Makes me sick and at times, angry.

Thank you BigFoot. It was also our pleasure to meet you. You are a gentle giant, and I want you on my side since I think Lakeman is going to get pretty angry when I out fish him. LOL
