[Rhodes22-list] Lake Hartwell Report?

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Rob,
Yes, we are getting some rain. Not any gully washers, but enough to help  the 
lake condition. The lake is now only down ten feet from full pool. The  
highest we saw last year was down eight feet. The rain gauge at the house has  
about half an inch in it. The forecast says rain off and on through Sunday  
morning. I guess I'll be working in the garage replacing the bunk covers on my  
Rhodes trailer this Saturday. At least the grass is starting to green up. I've  
been wanting to try my new pneumatic stapler for a while now.

Rob,

Thanks for asking. We received about an  inch and a half of rain last  
weekend. No complaints here, but the  lake is still down eleven feet. The
USACE  has 
closed the gates so  no water has flowed downstream in two weeks. It's
going  to 
be a  hot dry summer unless we get a lot more rain. My dock is now  usable
and  
Tuesday I placed our Chaparral on the float at the  dock and cruising the
lake 
is  once more possible. Normally an  inch of rain equates to a foot in
rise on 
the  lake, but the  ground is so dry most of it is being absorbed and
running 
off  into  the lakes and streams.

Rummy
