In case anyone has been wondering what things look like down at Bob's, wonder no more, because here's a picture taken just yesterday and forwarded to me by Don Mc. (Many thanks, my friend!)
"Water is down about 4.5 feet," he said before adding, "that ramp is a real tough situation right now."
Two fellas in a johnboat, as Don explained, just had come in from the boat's maiden voyage. He indicated they had one heckuva time getting the boat back on the trailer. Because the ramp drops off at such a steep angle at the point shown, he said, the trailer looked like it was hanging from the ball as they wrestled to get it loaded.
"We need to tell those Carolina folks we want our water back," quipped Don, and I feel pretty certain there are a lot of us who feel the same way. I did notice a little earlier that, according to the online river gauge, the level had c-r-a-w-l-e-d its way back to 0.18 feet, but it takes more than that to float most boats. Here's hoping things get better real soon.
