...but in past years, Alton Bay becomes a frozen depository for pieces of 2x4 and other pieces of lumber, and some trash.

Love the old back-packing adage. If you carry it in, carry it out and leave the place better looking than when you arrived.

Unfortunately, it is not just ice-fishing folks to blame. I have picked up trash along snowmobile trails, picked up trash on golf courses, and best of all, try doing a roadside clean up along our highways.

We will be doing one on rte 11 in Alton at the end of April, and we will be picking up 25 to 30 bags of trash in a 2 mile stretch.

Sad.
