i hear ya 18 days of rain out of 28

Neighbor just told me there are trees, round hay bales and mobile homes floating right now. Like to see that pass thru the damn!!

they wont pass thru but they'll go over the dam like a 2X4 ,last BIG flood on the Illinois river and it took 2 dozen campers and sent them towards you ... called down to the Lock and they said the amount of stuff going over the lock & the bypass was incredible

Ya I bet the guys running the locks could tell some stories.

The mighty Miss is getting higher. Guess I wont get to take the ferry in Chester IL when I go down that way next week.

Here is a few pics of my dock.

1st pic bottom right corner is where the water was at the 935.47 mark.

Aunts creek park

Is your dock moving out as the lake goes down or have you had to pull it out? I won't be down till wednesday or thursday just wondering how mine is doing.

Is she going down BIG Daddy ???? we missed the rin Sat & Sunday but looks like she's coming back thursday thru Sunday 4 us

10 gates of the damn was open 4', releasing 68,000 cuft per sec. That was dropping the lake almost 3/4" per hour. Now only 5 gates are open with 1' opening, releasing 20,000 cuft per sec.

I think it is all good. There wasnt much tenison on the lake end cables. So I dont think it lifted the weights. I cranked them up as much as I could. I am going down Thursday afterwork. Looks like good weather for there. Damn shame lake is to high to put the advantage on. Guess I will have the lil tracker to run around in. There were alot of guys fishing. Not sure if they did any good or not. I never made it out.
