Dierks February 16 They turned the dam off

[Chicago Bob]

I was out at Dierks again today. I ran my shuttle headed down the hill at Horse Shoe Bend. The water was running at a near normal level. I took my canoe off the car and walked it down to the river's edge. I went back to the car and began to get into my drysuit. Next thing I know is that a siren began to sound and the the flow began to diminish. Now, I had been made aware that the lake was falling close to its minimum level. So I suspected that today might be the last of the release and I was right. Now I'll have to find someplace else to play. BOB
