[#0000ff]The water levels are dropping enough that you can park and wade around to the ledges off the L now. Of course, as you know, you need to know the bottom contour and wade carefully to avoid going swimming.[/#0000ff]

Funny story that took place a year ago last Spring while in the tubes.
It was May as I recall and 3M and I were setting dead still on the hump about 40-50 yards out from rock pile on the west side of the channel and counting the kitties in the basket. There had been an aluminum bass chaser boater buzzing the area a couple times earlier that morning and just as we got ready to leave here it comes again. Apparently the driver thought he was going to pull a fast one and rattle our chains by high speeding it between us and the shore line.. Well all of sudden all sorts of sweet grinding sounds could be heard as the boat slid arcoss the humps that were still hinden under the surfice of the water. They came to a stop (very suddenly of course) and so 3M and I stood up. The water where we were setting wasnt even knee deep and they'd tried to pass between us and the shore line another 20 yards closer to shore. Needless to say the boat driver had a completely stupid look on face after we'd stood up. It was sweety!
Whats more as you say Pat, its best to be very careful in that area. Some of it drops off VERY fast. I've seem many a walker fill the waders along those shore lines over the years.. There are several guick drop pockets out there..
