We are about drowned here at camp.
It rained so much the last few weeks that the lake rose about 18 inches including six inches one night alone last week!
Through a herculean effort Ben and I had managed to finally get the new metal roof on the motor shed and deck portion of the boathouse and a couple of days later the lake rose over the new dock. That would be the dock we just built this spring to ensure that it would always be above water. It was made a foot higher than the highest water we had ever seen in the past 30 years.
It something like the past five weeks we didn't have more than one sunny day at a time, until today! Yesterday and today were sunny and hot. The lawn, which has resembled a swamp for the past month, even dried up enough that you can walk around in shoes instead of knee high rubber boots.
The forecast is for at least another couple days of sunshine.
In related news, guests arriving this Saturday should meet the camp boat Lickety Split at the Government Dock and not at our usual dock at Red Lake Marine.
The usual dock and parking lot are under water.
The Government Dock can be found by turning right at the traffic light and proceeding to the turnaround on Howey Street. The turnaround is the Government Dock.
Dan will take you to a different location to park your vehicle.
