Default Local Lake Flooded

Which lake?

And it's REAL early in the season for a lake to be full.

What happens when the marina store, launch ramp, and dry storage area for boats is lower than the spillway threshhold?

I didn't have time to go out on the boat today, but I had enough time to take a Sunday drive out to my local lake to see how it
fared after our Northern California rains.

Well, all the dry storage boats have been moved to higher ground and the jetty is underwater, the launch ramp is under water, the
grassy knoll is under water, and the store at the top of the grassy knoll is under water.

Quite a sight to see! The store is empty so I'm guessing they saw the water coming and had time to clear out the merchandise; I
sure hope so. Hmm, think my launch fees are going up next season? It's a nice mom and pop shop, so I won't complain if they do
if that's what it takes to keep them alive.

Interesting how uninviting the lake is when it's filled with debris and zero visibility. I was undecided about skiing or boating
this Tuesday; I guess I'm skiing!
