At last.... WATER!!!

I'm not saying that when it rains here, it rains all over the world,
but I didn't think there was much in the US that was in a drought
condition.

We have a green belt (wooded) behind our house. It was designated as
wetlands when the subdivision was first plotted. It is probably 150
feet deep.

Since Christmas the area has had small pools of water. We have
certainly had our share of rain here.

Yep - I was down on Saturday and saw that the lake had come up a bit. I
hope they get my riprap installed before it is full again :-)

Lake Murray here in SC is finally back up to near full pool. It's
been down for over two years as they reinforced the dam. I was out
last Saturday, and we've got our lake back!

Carlyle is a semi man-made lake, that is fed by the Kaskaskia river
that was dammed up in the early 50's., and the lake is shallow in some
places, but not bad, that is IF you know where to go.
Basicly though, it's either full, or fuller.

I have been on Carlyle, but it has been about 30 years. You are right
about it being shallow in spots. I really don't know it that well.

The lake we went to most when I was growing up was Lake of the Ozarks
and Tablerock. My mom still has a place at the 26 mile marker on Lake of
the Ozarks, or about there if my memory recalls correctly. The place has
a Sunrise Beach mailing address.

When I get back to St.Louis we run a boat of my uncle's on the
Mississippi. That can be a lot of fun.

jack, that's one thing I'd like to do this summer, is go in a river
cruise on the MS. But I dont' know a thing about it, except for what I
see going over the bridge from IL into MO. on I-70.

I would like to plan it out for this summer, though.

You know where I can get info to do such?


Th Illinois river is easy, no problem there, been up and down it many
times from Havana, to Alton and back,

I like lake Murray, We use to live in Lexington and used that marina by
the dam to launch from. It was great because it was so close to the house.

We were there when they droped the lake to kill the hydrilla that was
choking the shallows, did that work out ?

Nope. They finally introduced sterile Grass Carp to the lake a couple
of years ago. That, coupled with the low levels forced by dam repair,
has knocked it back. We'll see how much is left out there this summer
when it is usually at its worst.

Jake's Landing is the marina by the dam. It's closest to our house,
and is where we keep our boat.
