Well, last night (Monday 4/22) was the first night on Rattlesnake. *NICE* sunset (sorry, didn't get a pic) - cold night.
It's nice to be back! No neighbors yet, most docks are still out of the water - very, very quiet on the lake. Did actually see another boat coming from the Island this evening (Tue).
Bring on the warm weather!
Was out last weekend, you are right very quiet. Saw Marine Patrol go by on Sunday. See ya at WAM.

I was out on Rattlesnake briefly the day after ice-out was declared..never saw another boat. Can't wait for it to warm up a tad!

Was out as well this past weekend putting the dock in and getting the water system charged to the camp and stocking the shelves for the season. Spending about 2-3 hours assembling the dock saved me a good chunk of change, paid for my new wetsuit and then some. ;)
Finding out the hard way that I missed draining a couple of water lines under the building wasn't to much fun, crawling under there, cutting out the busted part and soldering in a patch piece is I guess part of the fun, but all good none the less.
Looking forward to this weekend, matter of fact I decided to take an extra day on Monday just because.
I suspect there will be more folks out this weekend than were last.

Is the Lake high or Just Full ! ? Kerk
I don't have an exact figure, but the lake doesn't look unusually high, particularly for this time of year. I've definitely seen it a lot higher, but there are others here who can probably give you a more exact measurement.

The lake is at 504.24 tonight, just below full lake.

Here's a graph showing the past years of lake height.
As codeman said, we are just below "full".

Yes! We too arrived on Bear Friday the 19th- so good to be back- saw few people opening on the West side & now during the week very quiet- only maintenance people here- been walking the perimeters to look for any damages and not much- good :liplick:news for many! Basically really enjoying this week of peace & solitude.:liplick:
