I am beginning to feel the frustration with gas powered equipment. I am in this for the fun and to get my kids out of the house I am seeing more and more people disrespecting the rivers every day. <br /><br />Friday why on clear creek there was a 10 foot long drudge with a 4 inch hose in the river. I mean really! These streams and free places are being over run with people trying to get rich and bringing the motorized equipment and disrespecting the rivers. Why on the north side of the bank 2 guys have demolished the bank 20 + feed away from the river with there drudge. And people wonder why they want to close down these places. The respect is gone for some and it is going to ruin it for the rest. <br /><br />I would just say that is you are planning on using gas equipment to not go to the places family’s go to have fun and ruin it for everyone! I am leaning to counties enforcing the rules and requiring permits and policing the waters from the people who are destroying the banks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893643335591861106.post-68810445678647529802012-05-11T18:53:26.663-07:002012-05-11T18:53:26.663-07:00Ok great, sure will!
