An erosion problem

An erosion problem

The Purdys moved to their home in Maple Ridge six years ago. At that time their home was about 50 feet from the river bank. Today, the river is only 30 feet away.

"We never heard of erosion before. We didn't know what it was. We found out though," Pat Purdy said.

I feel bad for their health problems, but it appears they cut their grass right up to the bank.

Maybe if they let the vegetation grow they wouldn't have this problem?

Side note: this would be a great project for Michigan-Sportsman members in the area (if we have any "sportsmen / women" still here).
