Take a look at an Elevation plot which was started today.
7:00 AM Saturday, March 31, 2007. 664.68 feet. The lake elevation increased by four and a half feet in the last 24 hours which caused the ramp to fall off of the steps.
After several hours, the marina staff is in the final stages of placing the ramp back into place. This was a very small task compared to the monumental chore of rearranging the marina back to it's normal configuration.
Wednesday afternoon, April 11, 2007 668.5 feet. The marina staff is moving the docks back to their normal configuration. Notice that some of the docks do not have access, adding additional work for the staff to ferry people to and from their boats. The little boat on the left is the marina work boat bringing someone back from their boat.
Sunday, May 5, 2007 671.8 feet. The marina is back to it's normal configuration.
Monday, May 28, 2007 7:50 AM 681.56 feet. The lake reached full level, 681.00 feet, at 9:15 PM last night, May 27th.
