BONKERS…You Won’t Believe What They Just Pulled Out of Utah Lake

Lakes are good for skiing, fishing, and hiding garbage.

FOX13.com is reporting that over 20 huge tires were recently extracted from Utah Lake.

From the article by Jeremy Tombs: (LINK TO FULL ARTICLE)

"A Utah County homeowner’s association recently tackled a cleanup project at Utah Lake that was much bigger than usual.

"[James Bratton from the HOA] explained to me that while you can’t see it from the shoreline amid this period of higher water, around 40 tires were piled up in the lake — and he believes they’d sat there for decades."

These are huge truck tires too.

Utah Lake has a pretty bad reputation among Utahns. Anytime it comes up people do the "P-U" signal and say how dirty it is. This isn't gonna help matters.

Per FOX13:

"The ULA commended the HOA’s efforts, telling us: “Their hard work not only helped Utah Lake's thriving ecosystem but also helped foster vibrant communities around the lake. It's dedicated Utahns like the Saratoga Springs Homeowners Association that help preserve the lake for future generations.”

It's a very picturesque lake and it's a shame that its reputation is so negative.

I hope to one day dump my own tires in it.

The only water sport I can do is knee boarding and I haven't done that in about 20 years. I wonder if the big fella can still get up.

The point is let's all contribute to making Utah Lake great by pitching in and also by telling people who crap on it, that actually most of the tires are gone and it's safe once again to go snorkeling.
