That's sad because at one time it must have been someone's happy place

[@brandenfindley5467]

If they refuse to sell it, fix it, or remove it, FWC should be able to charge or fine them for illegal dumping. No different than someone dumping garbage into the river.🙄

I'm thinking the same

[@mumblesnorris6650]

Damn shame but that river rises fast and will destroy things fast! I'm north of Geneva, and it's 23' to the bank looking down. I've seen 27 to 28 over and took out our stairs down to the water gone and floated our camper clear up to the entrance gate in a matter of hours. Of course, it's a flood plains area

@@mumblesnorris6650 you are absolutely right. It's amazing it's lasted this long.

[@peterlindsey6428]

Love the intro...:) seems a shame another busted dream of someone.

[@zachfskipper]

@@peterlindsey6428 I'm glad you like the intro! I'm trying to get better with my drone shots

[@marvinbyler2962]

What makes that not considered abandon and open to be salvage by someone willing to salvage it?

[@zachfskipper]

Marine salvage law says you have to have a title or bill of sale to process something

[@Adiscretefirm]

Is that in the Florida or Alabama part of the river?

[@zachfskipper]

Florida

[@CurrentsAndCanopies]

Hope you find out, I would love to know what happened here!

[@zachfskipper]

Me too!

[@prestonking5736]

Looks like something must’ve happened to the people that owned it

[@zachfskipper]

@@prestonking5736 I agree. I hope they reach out though if possible

[@atomatman3104]

I SEE THE RIVER IS POLLUTED THIS WAS ONCE CLEAR IN 1776.....

[@zachfskipper]

It's not polluted and you weren't around in 1776 so you wouldn't know. The river is almost blue right now.
