Lake Wazee

Wazee Update:

The blacktop that Jon Schweitzer, 2nd in command of Jackson Parks and Forestry has been promising all fall, is soon to be installed. I was out diving on Wednesday with two other Jackson Dive Unit members to complete the Sherwood Forest dive platform removal and the place was crawling with Mathy Construction trucks and the roads have been graded, fill added where needed, etc. It should be all paved within a week or so, whether permitting.

I believe that the park roads blacktopped will contribute to better vis, due to less dust settling back into the lake all through the busy, dry, summer.

Finally Jackson county is putting some money into a money maker and a good investment, instead of a money loser!!! Sorry, as a County resident, I feel inclined to put in my two cents worth as we are bailing out a money-losing black hole of a county-owned nursing home to the tune of $1 million dollars a year. Time for Jackson County to get out of the nursing home business and into investing in the recreational facilities that bring in thousands of dollars a year in revenue. Sorry, I'll get off my soap box now.

Regardless, the vis is really starting to get nice.

See you out diving on Saturday AM, Doug.
