It looks like it is going to be a wonderful summer. People are opening up their homes, cleaning up their yards, planting flowers and in general getting ready for fun times in the bay. Now, if it would only stop raining.!.
The lake level is slowly coming up; we are seeing more & more boats in the bay. The bass fishermen have been out in full force.....they must be catching. If you are planning to motor into the bay, be sure to watch out for the sandbars.
There seems to be an abundance of wild life here in the bay (we are not referring to our neighbors). We have recently seen moose, linx, new baby geese, eagles, osprey and deer. What have you seen?
