Now that someone has described the place, I know where avocado beach is. I had just never heard it called that before.
A person does have a right to their own property.
And we do need more river access.
Ive said for a long time, two rivers in town and them not being used is a horrible waste of resources.
Ive heard the excuses.
They don't wash.
A real simple solution is down there where we had the concert.
Additional river access was in the back of my mind when we started the concert.
It would be very easy to build a small bridge across the levee - with Corp of Engineers approval of course - and build a small park on the other side of the levee.
It does flood there some, so you wouildn't want to put stuff that would be damaged there.
But it would be easy enough to clear out some of the trees, put in a few paths. Maybe a couple metal or cement tables that wont hurt if it floods.
That would be good enough.
At Bricks there are pictures of a river front park in Arkansas City. About 100 years ago, there was a boat dock as well as canoes for rent. Its all there in the pictures.
I dont see why it cant happen again.
The bike path will help, but more is needed.
We need to get some people interested in making something happen there.

If you get in contact with county records they would have the name of the folks who own it. I do believe they live out of state and have never done anything with the property. If that proves to be fruitless I do know one other person that claims to know the person who owns it. He may be a contact if you can't find info on it any other way. This would be a perfect place with river access for you to have your concerts other than no electricity. I think if they would open this area up to the public once again there would be no end to the supply of help getting places cleared for use in the woods. All that would have to be done is calling the owners for permission. But I do know young and old people would come out of the wood work to be able to have access to the woods there again. It does flood very easily but is a great place to lounge out on the sand bar and spend days and nights with your family. Good luck with this project if you choose to accept it...I think you would have alot of support from the public...but not from the ACPD or the city. Who knows for the right price, or the right cause, would they sell the land????? Might be worth a try asking.
Yea
Only thing is, i dont want it to be my project.
I have enough projects.
Someone else needs to take it on.
Ill help.
lead a sheep to water, but when he gets stuck in the mud call the shepard

for the record
On all federal rivers in the USA all banks of the river are public lands, only on state rivers like the walnut do property owners won the land under the river, the water is still public domain, so do not step your foot out of the boat.
In the case of the Avacado, the owner is not an 83 year old woman, acording to county records.
the sand bars and banks are public domain on a federal river, and access must be granted, however that does not mean open toe four wheeling or motorised traffic.
This kind of place offers young people a place to drink Alcohol and have sex, further more it is out of city limits and the police department cannot patrol it.
WE must not let people think that they can go to this river and have bon fires and drinking parties, the next thing you know they will be haveing satonic meetings and KKK parties, if you want recreation go to the Rec center and sign up for a class in something
Never was it the intention of God to make these kinds of places for you to enjoy when alcohol and sex is envolved,, hmmm ok
Next question is who made the gate that is blooking the drive to avacado?? looks like this was made at the city shop on west madison.
We did have access at Cotton wood park, this was closed by the Public works director because there was some grass damage on the dike,,, by the way this was also a place where satan plied his trade, so it was closed
Kaw wild life behind total was closed because we are tring to correct the drinking problem our young people have.
Quaker Haven was closed because satan was there and maeking the young people have sex in drunken stupers,, some of you may have been conceived there.
as long as some think they are better than others, and lifestyles are controled by the decans bench, four wheeling, bon fires, a beer at the river, catfishing from a sand bar will all be evil traditions stamped out
But let one Christain play a flute on the river bank and the rats will follow him blindly and drown in thier own ignorance
Wonder if our Christain music fest would be looked at any differently if we counted the millions of lives that were ended on this spot and the blood that was spilled so a hungry man could fill his belly and packing house owner could become wealthy/
Nothing more can be expected from a religious community, as religion is not the following of Christ, but the organization of Judgemental hipocrits whos aim is to make them selves appear sin-less
I read that somewhere but there was a lot lost in the Swahilli translation,, and the other translation didnt know i was going to write it

Sounds like your hitting the old nail on the head here, lets all get together and stop this Music on the river stuff,, i can see a beer garden and bon fire on the agenda very soon

That's only at the double-secret meeting. The evil editor and the mean commissioners plot ways to do you harm, and to make you pay for it.
Don't forget the evil rituals they are planning to start around the bonfire while drinking beer!
NO NO NO
The beer is always AFTER the bonfire and before the rituals.
We had a long debate about this and its been settled.
NO beer during the bonfire.
Ha! Ha! you all really crack me up!
