    We got a lot of rain later that day and supposedly it's starting to fill... I don't know what they needed to fix on the dam but apparently they're going to let it fill naturally and so far so good... Thank god there are 3 other lakes surrounding this one...

        Is that where you lost your other boat? Did you find any fiberglass?

                  I want to know more about this Jeep. Was this something that was lost into the lake from the road, and had been there for who knows how long? Or a Jeep that was driven on the dry lake and broke down, and left there?

                  If it was sitting on the bottom under water,????????????? Hummmmmmmmmm

                        Now that's a fixer-upper project if I ever saw one Tow vehicle and boat from the same lake.

                          How long to fill it back up.

                          Do they have a number on how long it will take to fill it back up? I may have missed it but why was it drained down? Jimmy Hoffa?

                            On Clear water man made Lakes like that one there is not a lot of natural cover or hiding places for fish so in essence the Dept of Conservation dumps the pallets and christmas trees that were unsold to creat habitat for fish instead of habitat for hummanity. Just think of the pallets and trees as fish condos

                              Drained it to make improvements to the dam. It is a small lake, something like 1,200 acres, so it could be filled in a couple days if they wanted to.

                                So do they just store the water in a big warehouse somewhere?

                                That's kinda crazy to think they have that much control over such a large body of water. Neat pics.
                                Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
