kent lake, ice?

It does suck that it is now $30 for the boat sticker, especially since we already are paying to fund the HCMA on our property taxes.

In reality though how many of us will drop $30 for a one time dinner with our significant other. The $30 sticker is the gift that keeps on giving all year long.  If you are really that worried about it just drive in and wait for the ranger to issue you a ticket. Last season was the first year I purchased a sticker for my boat only because I did finally get one half way through the season.

You can get 6 citations before you get the yearly paid for so if you don't plan on launching at a metropark more than 6 times, take your chances.

Or you can just grow old, and get the senior citizen discount.  

I live next to a Metro park.  They've got more money to waste than any body I know.  I have seen them fence in their property, and then a couple of years later, tear out that fence and put up a chain link fence.  

I wouldn't mind paying their fee, but at least use some of the monies to dredge out the ramp at the Kent Lake launches.  

I drove by Kent this afternoon.  There is still lots and lots of ice.  No point in launching the boat as far as I can see.   And, the big rock that sits in the water next to the I 96 bridge is still way out of the water.    I can't launch there until that rock starts to go under water when they raise the levels.
