Lake Jane

[scubafreek864]

Well, went to Lake Jane today.

Got the boat out and loaded into the truck.  In the process of doing so, the local P.D. stopped in to check on what we were doing.  We told him that we just recovered the boat from the depths of the lake.  He proceeded to tell us that what we did was against the law, impounded our trucks, boats, and took all our gear, threw us in jail till they figured out what to do.  ???

After we sat in the jail for a couple of hours, they gave us a $300 fine/each, told us we had to go back to the lake and put the boat back where we got it. Had to pay the tow bill, impound fee, and we were on our way.

Got back to the landing, unloaded the boat, towed it to where we got it, and proceeded to sink it.  In the process of sinking the boat, the local DNR officer pulled up  in his boat, and asked us what we were doing.  We told him all about the day we had at the local P.D.  He told us, if we sink the boat that it would be considered littering, and would give us a fine for doing so.  Well we couldn't do much now,  seeing that the boat just went under the water as we were talking. :o

He wrote us all tickets for littering, and told us that we were to come back some other day to get it back out of the lake.  We have to contact the dnr before we do so, and will get the littering tickets canceled if we get it back out.

That was our day at Lake Jane in a nut shell. ;D
