The Last Weekend in July

 Next »

July 27th through 31st , 2011

We got rain! About 0.3 inches was emptied from the gauge on Thursday morning. On Friday morning, it was clear that it rained overnight. It turned out to be only 0.2 inches but hey, rain. We got twice that amount the next night and more was on the way. On Saturday afternoon, it got wet and windy. After the storm passed, another 0.3 inches was poured out of the rain guage. That's about 1.2 inches in just under 3 days. Rah! Much time was spent diving under the fresh sky-water in the lake. Underlake activities included ... collecting golf balls, saying "hi" to bluegills, swimming through swarms of fishlings, and scaring kids with discarded crayfish claws. The time between the drops was also used for a few golf rounds. The NCC is in good shape. The water hazards are particularly full. The lake level is holding, if not going up a little. The stream in the northeastern corner is still dry, so don't count on the watershed pushing the level up much until we get a really big storm. There is talk of a very big storm hitting on Tuesday. There is also talk of a very big bear bruining around near Hwy 8 and Bear road. Careful going to the dump or Crandon lest it dent/eat your car.<br><br><br>-Nemo: Campfire starter, fish greeter.
