Dave and Uli Larrabee, a retired NYS Forest Ranger, drove from Rodman to help pull the water chestnuts.

With their narrow kayaks, Dave set up a inflatable inner tube with netting to stack the pull chestnuts.

The chestnuts were transferred to a canoe, used to hold several loads of, and dispose of.
