Another lake clean-up day (sad)

[Todd969]

It really blows me away. How can any person have such a disrespect for the shoreline beaches? Today we came across a disgusting amount of trash on 1 beach just southwest of grass island.
How the morning started, FREAKIN' cold, but beautiful.

Seriously, new Donzi ZR. The owners are in their 80's. How cool is that?

What is this?

[Throttle]

that crap is terrible... looked like another nice day...

[Todd969]

What is this?
Those are fish habitats. They are all over the lake. The lake level is down about 4' from normal so it's strange to see them that close up.

[SummitKarl]

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! you can walk on water:sqeyes:

Could I get you to "PART" the lake, so I can get a set of keys back:D

Its amazing how people will destroy such a beautiful place :mad: .
Props to all of you that have helped clean up for the pigs that abuse Havasu.

[riverracerx]

Thanks to all you guys for picking up everyone else's mess. My kids always bring trash to me they find in the water and on the beach. I always seem to bring more trash back than what I went with. Sad that some people don't care, or expect others to pick up after them.

[HavasuFSBO]

That is sad to see all of the trash. No excuse at all for this. I also thank the people who go out and pick up the trash.

[98 Vector 21]

If we take it to the lake we bring back with us!

[Mrs.Racer277]

Beautiful day on the lake. It is very sad how people can not pick up after themselves. PIGS!! Thank you very much for all that you do Todd. Hope you guys let Mocha get a nap in after all his hard work :)

[TCHB]

The same type people trash Huntington Beach and leave trash everwhere.
Thanks for helping!!!!

[hrspwr1]

Alot of people just dont care nowdays. Its nice to see people like you that do.

[charitycase]

We do the same thing on our River a couple times a year.
It amazes me that when something gets closed because of this kind of crap,the people who left it are the ones that Bitch the most.
Sorry for the rant.AGAIN Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cc322]

Great job guys, we always have trash on our boat and it always finds a trash can or bag, disgusting what pigs some people are.... again nice jog on the clean up.

[shueman]

That is sad to see all of the trash. No excuse at all for this. I also thank the people who go out and pick up the trash.
x2...thanks for giving back...

[conquestcat]

PIGS is not the word
they have trash bags at all ramps use them you PIGS
thanks for the clean up you guys are great

[stix818]

Pretty sad!!!!! I just don't understand how people can't clean up after themselves!!!!

[donzi5150]

I grew up and most of my adult boating in the Panhandle of Florida and Louisiana......I moved to California a little over 2 years ago and have just been blown away at the disregard to the image that is played out across the world as tree hugging, conservation, save every thing mentality and the disgusting beach's and water ways I have seen here.
Us Rednecks tend to have a bad rap for environmental things and I have seen some throw a beer out or cigarette butt but more often I have watched 20 surrounding boaters at the sand bar yell at that boat to pick it up but not in CA. The beaches in Destin Harbor, Crab Island, the Islands in the Intercostals, the sand bar on Lake Maurpas at the Amite and Tickfaw rivers, Florabama, the island at the diversion canal all have never been like what I have seen on the Delta in some spots.......

[Ziggy]

Pretty sad!!!!! I just don't understand how people can't clean up after themselves!!!!Laziness and don't give a fock attitude.
Thanks Todd and crews.

i agree 100% :D great clean up effort!!!

[Beachbum]

These pigs ruin the lake , the river & the dunes . I work at the beaches in so cal , can't believe what they do to it . Thanks for caring & taking care of our lake ( will be back in boating someday - taking a time out )

[HPBoats83]

Thats a great thing that you are doing by picking up after the white trash that leave that stuff there. Thank you for doing what you are doing to help.

[90mphRAGE]

Wouldn't it be nice to catch these pricks in the act. We could make the punishment fit the crime by dumping all the dumpsters at their home! For us boaters, Havasu is our home & we don't need these people in it!:mad:

[pixrthis]

THANK YOU for actually doing something about the mess left behind by A-Holes to stupid to care. Thank you Thank you

[JetBoatRich]

We see the same crap on a lot of shorlines of the lakes we visit.
as others said, thanks to all who are out there doing something about it

[1030]

Thanks for what you are doing....

[Patyacht]

Great job everyone. Thanks for helping keep the lake clean. I noticed that the last time we were in Havi, the Marine Assoication had started to post bags at the launch ramps. Super idea.

I really appreciate what you guys are doing. I've been running the Parker strip and LHC for 30+ years and all that trash upsets me just the same. I know there are alot of camp grounds around the area but I have never seen any signs saying " Pack it in, Pack it out!" I see alot of those here in Ca. but not in Az. Mabey someone in LHC can PULL SOME STRINGS!

[Community]

Looks like a well organized event with the big roll-off and all. I usually go to Parker but would love to bring my kids up and help do a clean-up, great way to spend a day and good for the kids. Could you keep us informed of the next one?
