The garbage cans were nice more loaded with water and a few buckets I found floating around the shore line were all pressed into service. All the accumulated debris was cleared up. Big pieces were gathered on shore for future re-use or burning and the smaller gunk was pushed into the water and sent on it&#8217;s way further down the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
