I just read about this. This might put a bit of a kink in the plans for the Blue Water Reunion.
8/11/2006: The Colorado River Indian Tribe has placed a quarantine on the Colorado River in the area of the Blue Water resort and points south of there.
There has been an increasing number of people developing Shigella (a lower intestinal tract disorder) and reporting to Doctors and Hospitals in the area. The common denominator in all these cases is swimming or being in and/or around the Colorado River in those areas.
Signs have been placed near points of water access in the effected areas. CRIT Environmental Office is conducting water testing to determine if the water in these areas is the cause of the reported disorders.
No cases reported (as of yet) from areas up River of the Blue Water area.
Swim at your own risk.
