First to know

You are the first to know - as measured on June 6th, the lake level is up 8 1/2 inches since September 14th. That's huge! Usually we get 2 or maybe 3 inches in variation. I had to wait until it felt like swimming weather in order to reach my benchmark. Had to search a bit to find it at all. It required wading in waist-high water. Shiver!

This measurement has no particular meaning outside of comparing it to other measurements. It translates to over a 12 foot rise of the water on my shoreline. What about yours?

I love the lake. It doesn't pay attention to you or me. It just listens to its own Gilbertness. Thanks, lake, for teaching me to be humble.
