Can the HOBO's pull together to try to save Sand Island? I realize this is not so important to some, especially on the east side of the lake, but it is a LANDMARK that should be saved. I live on the east side now but grew on the 'other side'. As I stated, 3 generations of my family have used it as a gathering spot since the 70's. I don't get over there very often now, but it is depressing to see its current state. It is without a doubt the best sandbar on the lake.

There was thread on this subject last year in regards to the last effort back in the 80's. I thought it was the CORPS that had done it, but found out it was just concerned lake dwellers. They used Army sandbags at that time. Even that would be better than just watching it slip into the waves to be gone forever, since it can not be reclaimed per the license agreement. I would show up to fill sand bags if that is what it came down too. Someone has put rip rap around Cemetery Island. Could that be an option for Sand Island? I realize that the two islands hold a different significance, but it just seems a shame to let one disappear.

I would join the HOBO just to get behind this issue.
