They call me

Muddy Waters II

 

   handcrafted by 2 guys in Lena
The plan is to clean the Pecatonica River

but will it float? 

YES

On Saturday, May 21, 2011, 2pm, Muddy Waters II  was launched.
Ron said it felt very stable.

and it floated

 There was 1 small problem!!
The tube on the left was dripping water when it was pulled out of the water.
which means, THE TUBE LEAKS and takes on water!!
Not good...
Other than that, great JOB Roger & Joe.

 

  The Friends of the Pecatonica River Foundation (FPRF) has established large goals to improve the environment,
aesthetics and usage of the Pecatonica River.  These goals can not be completed by a few people,
but rather through the efforts of like minded individuals. 


The FPRF will be scheduling clean-ups, log jam removal, site and access improvements. 
If you believe in the future of the Pecatonica River and the good that will flow our way, please help us. 
The FPRF is in need of volunteers, excavating equipment, dumpsters, dump trucks and of course financial support. 
Make your check payable to;
Community Foundation of Northern Illinois,  or  CFNIL.
