Lanierians, if you saw the news last night about the docks up BRC- we went for a cruise this afternoon and saw the devistation from the storms. WOW! Docks tossed ALL over the place, one boat half sunk, a few grounded, lots of trees down...crazy. Go around the finger to the next cove though and nothing!
Go back to page 4 to see my other pictures of our dock. Here is one from the parking lot today. Note all the slips are now in the water and very much so! Also, if you go back to page #1 aand look at the first pics...the dry ground with all the concrete blocks exposed between the docks is just to the left of our dock in this pic- all 100% underwater. Here's to a full lake (or nearly so) this summer!!!
Oh yeah...that Carver 36 you see in the first slip to shore on the right...just got her sold today! BTW, a certain RO needs to change their ownership profile!! People are doing deals and shopping- spring is here.
Here's a picture that I took this afternoon with the lake level now at 1067.89 - about 5' higher than this pic that Tony took earlier this year - big difference. Will try to get some other comparison shots from the originals last year for you all to see.
Interestingly, they just had a big shoreline cleanup project Saturday when the water levels were just starting up. There was way less debris than I expected. Tuesday was a very nice "springlike" day. I pulled in a few docks, even removing a few expansion sections of cable. Helped my neighbor retrieve his jetski that been beached a few feet above waterlevel and tied up. Funny enough though, they'd tied it to a dock float. The rope held, the waterlevel didn't..lol. There were tons of fish topwater feeding. Strange weather and a strange day.

9/26/2011 Funny how things change or is that remain the same.... Right now we are down to 1062.72 today. The lake is really low in my opinion. I was having so much fund this summer I didn't really notice we are back in drought conditions. I would venture to say there are more markers out of the water than in the water. Lets pray for rain.. I will post a few pics from this weekend. It was interesting to look back in this thread and see what it was like in Sept 2007, Sept 2008 and Sept 2009. We didn't post anything in 2010 since we had water and were fat dumb and happy. Now we are back down in Sept 2011..
