Our Lake Tomahawk goes yo-yo-ing along

 

The afternoon of Jan 10, after Jan. 9 rain/snow storm.

Noon on Jan. 11, 2024 back down to barely any water. Draining in order to work on the dam (again.)

Jan 11, 2024 There's a spring which comes into the lake from somewhere above the parking lot and Laurel Circle. The other source of water comes down the little creek by the golf course and under the bridge on the north side of the lake. (And out of all the saved photos, I can't find any of that little creek!)

Friend Bob Nagan (on Facebook) posted this photo of the island on the left, and little streams of water going around it. Jan 13.

This mucky bottom may not ever get completely dry. I remember the last time they worked on the dam,  to remove all the trees, in 2015.

I'll share those old photos soon.

Today's quote:
Take the time today to really notice and appreciate the beauty that surrounds you.

  1. It is sad to see the lake drained. I hope the dam is fixed quickly. Take care, enjoy your day!

    1. I don't know that there was any problem, but funding became available, so...

  2. ...in the Adirondacks last summer's heavy rains damaged several dams that had received maintenance in years.

  3. They lower the water level on Lake Chatuge every year. Always makes me a little sad, as I know cold weather will be coming!

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
