Sauvie's island update

Mark · Wed Feb 15, 06 2:32 pm **Sauvie's island update**

I ventured out to Sauvie's today. The water level has returned to normal. The boat is gone...... I'd say to a better place but...... its now upside down at the nudie beach! Shocked

There is alot of full tree trunks and brush piled up and down the beach. We need to get a clean up party together and try to cut up and roll the logs back to the river.

I think any clean up should wait for a couple months...we another good rain storm or spring melt off could wash all that away. There is a lot of snow up there to melt off!!
Very Happy

Yeah I thought about that. The next time the big rains come we want to have our clean up. Right now the logs are 50-60' from the water. It would be easier not to have to roll them that far.

You might want to think twice about a cleanup that involves pushing the logs back into the water. Would be kinda bad publicity if someone came along in their boat and crashed into a log kiters had just sent floating off to be someone elses problem.......better check that out with fish and wildlife or whoever is reponsible for the beach/river. Maybe if someone has a boat you can float and tow them downstream a bit and then rebeach them???

I'll volunteer to bring some beer out when we decide on a day to the cleanup... anyone got a chainsaw? (beers and chainsaws, what a combo!)

Maybe we should blow them up - like they do when a wale washes up on the coast. That would be fun after a few beers- and good PR for local riders too. Very Happy

All we need is a day with some decent wind and few 25.5m Slingy Machines... Pretty sure that would be sufficient pulling/lifting force, and hey, if not, then we just put up more kites. Wink

If not, I think blowing them up would be fun too!

I maybe able to come up with a chainsaw. I will try for a log roller or two as well.
I did see tire tracks on the beach. I wonder if we can use a truck to tow stuff around.

I do like the idea of blowing it all up. Much like the whale years ago!! Cool

If we are talking beer and chainsaws better get some shotguns in the mix too!
