Fun at the lake has drawbacks
Many of us who live at or near Lake Allen Henry enjoy living in an area away from the hustle and bustle of city life. All goes well until the vacationers, weekenders, visitors and lake enthusiasts flock down here from places like Lubbock, Abilene, Midland, Odessa and other West Texas cities and towns to enjoy a lake that has many miles of shoreline.
Now, I doubt any of those fine citizens would discard their trash such as beer, wine, whiskey, water bottles and plastic bags in their front yard, the kiddy pool, or in their backyard. But, more than a few thoughtless and apparently uncaring folks prefer to litter every spot they visit in the lake area. Maybe they just don’t care about cleanliness and live in unsanitary conditions at home. We would like the area to be left the way they found it!
Remember, those of you who are being careless; you enjoy it for yourself but leave it trashed for others who visit after you. You made your mess and leave it looking like scenes from a third world country.
Please start showing some consideration for those who enjoy a nice, clean recreational area. Don’t mess with Texas!
