I may go, but it's going to be hot, so I may just decide to hang by the pool all weekend! Great fishing report! It really is a great fishing report if you fish Lake Lanier. May 30, 2008 LAKE LANIER IS DOWN 13.6 FEET, AND LAKE IS STAINED AND THE CREEKS AND THE RIVERS ARE STAINED & 75 DEGREES. Pardon my ignorance, but in this context, what does "Stained" mean? The water is red from the red clay runoff, this part of Georgia has lots of red clay. It happens after a heavy rain and results in low visibility. Photo of Georgia Red Clay: http://tinyurl.com/4ma8f9 Used to see that when I was stationed in Mississippi - saw a lot of it in Alabama - something about the SE and red clay. Around here when you talk stained water, it's usually tannin from pine trees - ugly brown color. |

We have the same thing all along the coast and swamp lands of the Caronlina's and Georgia, except it is a translucent and sometimes opaque black. When you move to SC, the Okefenokee Swamp is worth a trip for anyone who enjoys wildlife and nature. |

I am sure that makes sense to everyone else, but it went right over my head. Georgia red clay can stain your bathing suit, shoes, carpet and clothes real quick. I keep a separate set of crocs, on the boat, so I don't track any clay on board the boat. I did buy a new pair of "fake crocs today. They were $8.99 at target. It will be interesting to see how they feel and hold up compared to the $29.99 pair I purchased at REI yesterday. |

Tom was talking about seeing it in Mississippi, Alabama, and the SE. I was just explaining that it gets around. You know, like moves. .....never mind. -- John *H* |

Well, probably everyone else got it but me, I am slower than most. But you are correct, Georgia Red Clay is seen in Mississippi, Alabama and the SE. Everyone in Miss. want to know who carried all that Georgia Red Clay all the way over there. Can you imagine how many trucks it too? ![]() Here is a great photo of the dangers of Georgia Red Clay. http://tinyurl.com/3zk66f |

They probably have more sense than to get in that crap. On the other hand, it is a great picture, and I love having the ability to order prints right there on the site. You don't reckon that's an Alabama cop just gathering some Georgia Red for his flower garden, do you? -- John *H* |

It is the traditional color of barns in his area. ![]() |

The minerals it weathers from are common worldwide and so is the clay. They have it in East Texas and South Carolina and everywhere in between. Casady |
