Seriously, has anybody noticed the serious problem of the green cheetos dotting the grass at the event site? At first I thought there'd been a Kennel Club meeting on the lawn. But I've been informed that it's actually - goose poop?.

God forbid someone sit on the lawn to downhaul their sail or dare walk in a straight line without staring at their feet.

Whatever kind of poo, it is, it'd be great it if it was gone! There's something the event site host could work on.

I'd second the motion that picking up poo is a fitting job for the host.

NO! they are green cheetos, please tell me I have NOT been snacking on goose poop.
Are there any cheeto/poop experts out there who can confirm this?

The event site is pretty much the only spot with this problem, but not the only problem with this site.Wink

J- when the wind swithes to east this week tryout stevenson "bob's beach" and "rooster rock" or driveout to "jones beach" for late afternoon west wind. stay up river on an east wind and use a larger fin. have fun!

Goose crap is a pervasive issue at waterfront parks throughout the Pac NW. Up here in Bellingham, they allow (and ENCOURAGE) people to run their dogs off-leash during the winter and spring to get the geese scared off. Usually, by late May, the geese have gone north; whether they're staying later this year b/c of the lovely Junuary we've been having (which might have them thinking it's not quite summer yet), or whether it's that they like to stick around b/c their loonies have more purchasing power this year... there sure is a lot of the stuff around.

Cheetos, eh?

Be cool Bro, can't you dig that Canadian Geese are endangerd. That through our evil corprate ways it's our own fault. Ok tree huggers, thats how stupid it sounds. Those (endangered) geese are pooping on every golf course, city park and any other place where a mud puddle and grass come together. Trust me next time you get sick for some odd reason just try and remember about that time all your gear was covered in goose poo. I say get 2 yappy hyper dogs and let nature take it's Green course. Remember they are both animals so it's Green. You woulnd't let me let my dog crap all over the grass, why would you let some geese?

Sick and tried of geese, MT

It's almost silly to even reply, but just to clear things up you need to know that Canada Geese are not "endangered." But like other game animals in this state, you are not allowed to hunt or kill them without the proper permit/tag, and even then only during the specified hunting season.

It's still not as bad as the dog poop that still happens everywhere. Plus, doesn't it help to fertilize the lawn?
