Lake Mead
« on: June 20, 2022, 09:15:23 AM »
Wow. At Lake Mead right now, it's a two hour wait to get your boat in the water, then another two hour wait to get it out. They expect holidays will be four hours in and out. I think I'd want to just overnight on my boat on a weekend or else the whole day is spent launching and recovering.

There's actually water left in Lake Mead?

Huh. Who knew.
Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace. — Milan Kundera


The gift which I am sending you is called a dog, and is in fact the most precious and valuable possession of mankind

Looks like it won't be long before you don't need a boat.  Just drive your 4x4 across the lake.

That won't work well either.  :laugh:
