Friday,
June 7, 2019:
A bog on Gilbert Lake had been
reported and moved on April 24, 2019. It broke loose and headed to the main lake where local residents pushed it to a temporary location. Then plans were made for its removal. |
 |
|
As many as eight boats pushed the bog. |
 |
 |
|
The Minnow pushed hard and became clogged in plant roots. |
 |
|
Heavy equipment arrived and started pulling bog material out of the water. |
 |
|
It was moved inland about 100 feet to dry out before it can be trucked away. |
 |
|
More pushing of the bog to get is up to she shoreline. |
 |
|
There was a lot to push. |
 |
 |
|
Heavy equipment operator Lane Schaeffer was serious about his work with the
excavator. |
 |
 |
|
Lake residents gathered to see it all happen. |
 |
|
Thanks to Enberg Logging Supply of Motley for the Excavator, Johnson
Excavating from Aitkin for a dump truck and American Peat Technology from Aitkin via David Lane Schaeffer. |
Quote of the day:
 A
huge volunteer effort. Mark
