Drove Down To a Local Ramp

**Rees Guide** · 03-11-2016, 07:18 PM

This afternoon to find it littered with 20 or 25 of the big white rocks the COE puts around the ramps.

I shut the truck off and got out, taking a closer look someone had been throwing them down on the ramp and breaking them up some. I cleared the ramp of the larger ones, all of these would be underwater by Monday and be a pain when you are unloading. Never have understood folks doing crap like this, I scolded a kid last year for throwing these rocks out over the ramp to watch the water splash. His dad looked at me and I told him, if you wont correct him I will. If he wants to throw rocks do in on the other side of the levy and not where people would be trying to unload their boats. They left, good ridance.

word for the wise . While working Enid I saw several people hop off boats at ramps only to land on busted beer bottles . the water gets over them and you will have no clue . Some took multiple stitches .

Saturday at butla there were 2 boys fishing across the river, a younger boy was throwing bottles and rocks down the rocks. There were about 10 people at the picnic table and I never heard a word from anyone.

I busted 2 props on rocks at the north abutment ramp on Nader a few yrs ago, but got lucky a few days later and busted 3 teens chuncking rocks in.....broke them from that habit ! Thanks RG for clearing the ramp.

Saw that around the same ramp three years ago. People had moved big rocks to the sw side of the ramp to hold their ropes when beaching on that side. Water rises, rocks still there.
