Ernie,

I just got back from over at city hall and was talking to a guy from the Bureau and he said the lake is now officially 122' down. I have never seen it anywhere near like this. Many of the arms that go up the canyons are now closed to boats as all there is coming down is a small stream. They have cut back as much release as they can and are trying to get people to stop using water so they can stabilize the levels, but that isn't going to happen. We need rain and snow in the mountains, but they are saying it is going to be another dry Winter. If so, next summer you will be able to walk across the lake. Several of the boat docks are closed and Bridge Bay has extended their floating docks over 300' just to keep them in water. And come next Summer when the farmers need water, it is going to be bad if we don't get some rain.

Ron
