It would seem that like God, the Corps
of Engineers must work in strange ways. At least that would seem to
be the case at the River Run location just to the east of Forsyth
Missouri!
Back in December of 2013, the Army
corps of engineers decided to remove 14 canopies that shielded the
picnic tables that ran along Bull Shoals. These were dumped at two
locations and there they have sat ever since. When I asked other
laypersons why this was done in the first place, the most logical
answer I heard was that they were removed due to the fear of
flooding. OK...but if the park were to flood, what's to keep these
light weight aluminum structures from floating on down the river?
Seriously, it cost us taxpayers money
to take these down and it will cost even more to put them back up.
What gives? If this group of government employees is at a loss for
things to do, then perhaps they could donate time to the City of
Forsyth, which I'm sure could use some free help.
