Archibald Lake Road Culvert UPDATE 8-8-17

Message from Dick Kendall concerning the culvert. I recommended using TNT, but I don't think they'll go in that direction
Kurt
"Two of us went over to Boot Lake to bust out the illegal ‘dam’ but the structure is much too secure and stubborn and wouldn’t respond to the blow of the sledge. And, inside the tube, it is difficult to get any good swing and leverage to pound it loose.

So, we were unsuccessful. I have called the County and asked them to bring over a compressed air jack hammer. They can likely accomplish the objective in about 30 minutes. Town employees can then drag out the debris in 5-gallon buckets.

I’m not sure on the County’s timing, but will keep you updated."

Thanks to all to helped with the

2017 Boot Lake Cleanup

It was a very good year due to the fact we pulled very little out of the lake. We covered the shore line from the island to Platkowski's bay and the western shore from Paulson's to the campground

A big thanks to all of the volunteers:

Dan Platkowski, Ben Ariss, Craig Vorpahl, Rick Promer, Pete Kelm, Dick Kelm, Bill Bero, Patti Bero, Sue Cismoski, Patti Bero's sister and her husband

 

 

Boot Lake Baby Loon Final Update (July 13)

Thursday, July 13 Update

I have been talking with the loon researcher who has been working with our chick.  Here is her reply.

Kurt

"I just returned from monitoring the loon chick and had no phone service.  Yes, the release went smoothly, your loon chick is happily swimming like a loon chick should be.  Thank everyone for taking the first step in helping it get the help it needed by rescuing it."

 

(Many of you have asked how to make donations to the Raptor Center.  Here is a link to their support page and you can donate right on-line.  If you prefer to stop in or send in a check here is the address.  Thanks for asking, they can't continue to provide the great treatment without our help.)

The Ci BioBase System was developed to provide automated cloud based mapping and historical trend tools for aquatic analysis. This is accomplished with powerful yet inexpensive data recording tools and dynamic centralized analytic and lake mapping tools. CI BioBase leverages log file formats recorded to SD cards using today’s Lowrance™ brand depth finders and chart plotters.
Each subscriber to the BioBase System can collect acoustic data, upload it to a BioBase account, and automatically produce vegetation abundance and bathymetric maps
