Good news. We received an inch of rain in the past 24 hours. This along with cooler temperatures pretty well assures us of no more fire problems.

Well James Robinson came close enough when he thought the yellow barrel was a marker for Gas Can Rock. It will actually be filled with water and mounted on the rock in the middle of the lake that normally has a small yellow marker. This barrel should be visible from most of…

A perfect day today. It will be a little warm this afternoon but still OK. As you can see the water level is about normal with the floating dock even with the fixed dock
