Trash I Found in Lake Livingston

The Southern winds change direction in the fall. The lake is low, and we have been digging out some of the heavier trash.

This year alone, I’ve personally pulled out 6 tires. Many of them still have the rims attached. Tires are a pain in the ass to dispose because the dump charges 5 bucks a tire and I have to detach the tire from the rim in order for them to take it.

I did find a paddle board floating in a cove. Finally, something useful. The purple martin gourds will also be put to good use.

The entire casing from a boat motor.

Ya’ll c’mon. Oil cans have no business being in the Lake. Like ever.

I found a ton of bricks, but the focus of this picture is the deflated balloon. Balloons are terrible for aquatic animals and birds. I get it, the balloons fly away sometimes. If you see one, please pick it up.
