Gnarly treasures



We’re still hauling up remnants of the past here at Loveless Lake, including this gnarly brick + spike thing that was a homemade anchor or some such. Chris also unearthed two more tires last weekend plus a nice rusted metal post, so we’ve now got a total of three tires to haul to the Polk County recycler the next time we go. We’ve cleaned up most of the lakeshore, save for one last hulking wood-and-metal section from the old boat lift, which will be a substantial job once we get to it.

We're now moving to a new lakefront restoration phase: Instead of bringing nasty things UP from the lake, we’re taking a big rock or two DOWN with us as we start to think about rebuilding the shore, which takes a beating from boat waves and erosion from the steep hillside.
