They had good pictures in your paper. The rain that we got and they said helped raise the water has already gone back down as they are still having to let out more than is coming in. In one of the pictures on this thread, there is a picture of the old Highway 99 bridge and the marina just above that was put out of business by that little rain we got. All of their houseboats were stranded on a big sand bar that washed into the lake and they are trying to get as many of the boats as they can off the sand bar and into the river, then take the tops off so they can float them under the old bridge and take them to other marinas that still have water. This is one of the few times that I wish I had a boat so I could go look through some of those old places.

Using the old Highway 99 Bridge to get some of the boats off the sand bar. After getting them into the water they have to remove the tops to get them under the bridge. Where that sand is, and on to the right out of the picture used to be the Antlers Marina.
