Russ, Eastin, Miller and I ventured out on the lake this past weekend. It was a gorgeous Fall day, the air was slightly crisp but still shorts and t-shirt weather! It is unbelievable how much the levels have dropped since our last time out. I heard that the lake is dropping appx 6" every week. It is scary! There are three new islands that have popped up this past week that we can see from our deck. We are on the main channel of the lake which I'm scared at this rate, will become only a slight river if this continues.
We went to one of our favorite islands.. Only.. It is no longer an island, but has become attached to the main land. You would not believe all of the deer tracks we saw and we even spotted several foxes on what used to be the island.
The white sandy beach was under water this Spring. I have no idea what lives in that deep hole, below the clay cliff Russ is standing on. We kept saying watch out for alligators.
I'm also posting some pictures of several trees, which show their roots. The lake had washed away the dirt and it was really neat seeing what a tree looks like under ground!
