It seems like a small jon boat with oars and a two person team is a good vessel for removing all this junk once the ice all melts away. That shopping cart must be half buried down deep into the mud.

You know .... the warm temps and big rain that fell on Christmas day did a way better job than any snowblower ever could for removing all the snow from the elevated walkway that's built with very durable www.blacklocustlumber.com which grows in Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina. Just look at the photo titled Wingfield Pines to see a similar looking walkway.
A jon boat is a great idea. Could a couple of people just launch one there and do it? Or is there a town beauracratic process that would need an adhering to? Like, would they require you to have a degree in waste management? Insurance? Wave liability? EPA study(ies)? Special boat launch permit? Maybe you gotta get a badge?

Maybe bringing kids from Inter-Lakes HS to view the exhibit on environmental contamination could be the best investment.

I'll be back in the spring...Anyone got a jon boat? I don't need no stinkin' badges!
