At this Ellecoya State RV Park beach ....... is it the Canada geese causing the recent fecal bacteria positive test or is it something else?

Everyone immediately aims their blame at the Canada gooses ..... but, WHO KNOWS, but maybe it came from dogs that get walked along that beach coming from the next door neighbor, Lake Shore Park dog-walkers, who are in the habit of walking their beloved pet doggie along that beautiful and very empty stretch of sandy beach.

This dog walking place-to-go could be the dog poop and dog urine reason why the beach tested positive by the NH-DES for fecal bacteria.

One of the rules for the Ellacoya State RV overnight campground, $47/night-use, is "Pets are not allowed, and anyone with a pet will be asked to leave." .... so, it's not the RV campers with their doggie, out there on the beach.

But it could be dogs and their human dog-walkers who go walk the RV-beach from nearby Lake Shore Park?

Whatever the cause, the NH Beach Inspector ... https://twitter.com/NHDES_Beaches ... REMOVED ... their fecal warning beach notice just one day later, so's it must have been quickly cleaned up, or someone got out there and raked the sandy beach, or something.

Am totally counting on the LaDaSun to hit the beach with a totally thorough news report, there, to get the scoop on this local beach poop! Is it the geese, or is it the dogs, or what is it?
