August 26, 2014 - South Branch Post Flood Debris Dismantling Project

Published on 8/27/2014
 
August 26, 2014 - South Branch Post Flood Debris Dismantling Project
 
5 of us took to the South Branch with murder in our eyes and large tools in our
hands with the intent to tear the large pieces of post flood debris limb from limb.
  
 
There were 7 pieces that we wanted to get and we got them ALL!
 
  
The day started off misty.
 
 
 
This ended up looking like this
 
 
   
  
 
 
 
 
 

 
  
 
We dismantled 9 pieces of large post flood debris and picked up several
long single pieces of lumber.

We left three large piles of lumber in three locations for future pickup by the
Anglers of the AuSable Club and the Gates Lodge.
