High And Dry!!!

Lake Lanier northeast Atlanta of is running out of water and the boat is now on the trailer.

wow thats crazy i went there on vaction as a kid i cant believe it looks like that now. did they drain it or is it drought ? can they get the level back up?

[kko]

oh by the way almost forgot nice rig.

That's all drought. I flew through Birmingham a little while ago and was amazed at how low the lakes around there were. You could make out a huge ring of exposed lake bottom even from 30k feet in the air. I wanted to take a trip up there in the late spring possibly but that might change if the level does not come back up.

"Man that is bad." I saw this lake on the news a few weeks back and at that time they estimated that there was about 60 days of water left and the normal consumption rate. Is that still the case? Did you guys get any of the rain that past up the east last weekend? Im sure it will take weeks of rain to get that lake back up to full pond.

Man, those gel coat colors are crazy!

As of today the lake is down 15 feet with no relief in sight. The marina I keep my boat at is all but shut down. I went by yesterday and they were moving the floating sales and fuel dock out to deeper water (what little is left). We need rain and I mean a lot of it. I guess the only thing to do now is to figure out more stuff to add to the boat, more bling, LEDs, subs, maybe a DVD player and removable flat screen mounted to the tower???

You can but a mirror for a mirror arm that flips up and is a DVD play with screen, so you can watch those instrutioals while your out.

Another pic of the boat, We need water!!!!

good looking boat. man, our local spot was so low we couldn't use it for most of the year and then within a matter of days it was completely flooded. more than 20 something feet over full. weather is crazy!

[sparky216]

well....water is something that we rarely run out of here in Oregon

I was out on lanier for the 4th of july, i noticed it was even lower than last year, there were spots in the middle that were only a foot or two deep....looks to have only gotten worse since then

Man that sucks! Last year our local lake was down 12ft. Most of the ramps were closed because of low water. This year most of the ramps were closed because they were under water. The lake had risen about 12ft over pool. Thats about 24ft of lake level fluctuation. There is hope for next year!

Ahhh quit your cryin'! Seriously our lakes in Cali are down 75-150 feet! Some of them such as Folsom are dry and others are so dangerous you can't safely ride on them. If we don't have a wet winter this year there may not be any boating out here next season!
