Water Baby

Well, as I mentioned before, last weekend was nice. So me and my girlfriend Lauren (who can pinpoint even the best camoflauged litter with hawk-like vision) set off to Marsh Creek State Park. There is a fairly magnificent lake called Marsh Creek Lake, which perhaps contains the most types of bodies of water in the name of a body of water (is there a Swamp River Puddle Stream somewhere?) Regardless, as the name suggests, it is indeed quite a wet lake, as far as lakes go. Again, not much trash to be found. Congrats to the nature respecting citizenry. I had thought maybe me and m'lady could enjoy a trash free jaunt in the park, but with my inability to leave well enough alone, we finally came across a few tidbits. Marsh Creek Lake is actually a bit less wet than usual; the lake was lowered by about eight feet for a large scale fish habitat project (conspiracy theorists can have some fun uncovering 'the truth' about this so called fish habitat project). This presented the fun of collecting trash that has ressurected itself from it's watery grave. In the mix, we found Water Baby. It is some sort of plastic 'statue', and I will not write whether it is a Hindu figure or not; mainly because I have no idea.

A rope, glass bottles, bag of chips filled with rocks instead, the obligatory water bottle, Dr Pepper can (I forgot Dr. Pepper existed), and of course, Water Baby (feel free to explain what this is). The glass pieces all appear to be from different bottles, so I did count them separately.

979 to go...
