Preserve Bell Island!!

I have lived in Alaska all my life. I was born in Fairbanks and
lived in southeast all of my life. My family always had an airplane,
and I have some of the best memories flying in to Bell Island
Hot Springs. After beach combing or just lake hopping, we would
stop at Bell Island so I could swim. Some of the time mom and
dad would join me, but it was just the best treat a kid could
have.
Almost twenty years later I
took my good friend there, and I couldn't believe my eyes, the
board walk up to the lodge was pretty dangerous to walk on and
the pool was full of algae. I still swam, but I was pretty embarrassed,
the place was a mess.
I loved going there as a kid
and I can't believe that a place like that should be let go....
can someone please take care of such a really nice place to escape
to when you need too?
