 Well, the giant floating bog remains at its same place in North Long Lake near Brainer after dozens of volunteers today spent nearly 12 hours trying to move the massive four acre piece of land. The bog is currently on the shoreline at Legionville Safety Camp not far from where it was originally broke free from of the land last fall. Now with hundreds of third graders starting camp in a few weeks are trying to move the bog back to its original location and anchor it down so the lake will once again be accessible. We're making lemonade believe me even though it's not moving we are making lemonade out of lemons and we really are. It will eventually be gone and it'll be done for the kids. So the kids of Minnesota that come to these safety training seminars have the opportunity to utilize the water and and the great resources here in Minnesota which North Long Lake is definitely one of. Starting around eight this morning crews attempted to use boats to tow the bog to the east and after it would not budge they switched to option two which included using a cable to cut it in half. After hours spent threading the cable the bog was cut in half but it was still too large to move by boat boat power. It's kicked our butt um let's just be honest here we never thought we'd have this much trouble so it's it's been a it's been a little bit of a downer here today but we've made progress now we've we've cut it we're going to cut it again hopefully we get it into the small enough piece and we get that piece moved out of out of the beach here so at least we can have the safety camp have their beach. Crews will continue tomorrow by cutting the bog into smaller pieces to tow away from the camp and anchor down in a new location.
