[quote michael44]I read somewhere, or it was on TV........[crazy] I believe it was the paper. There is a real concern about flooding like we had in 97?
It said they wanted to take the lake down to 8%[/quote]
You are correct on the 8% and at the rate they are dumping water that should be by the end of the week. If you look at the reclamations website it shows about 7-8k feet a sec are being dumped in so that is what the SF should drop to if it doesn't warm up this week. If it warms up........ who knows. We rode Indian creek again yesterday and there was another foot of new dense snow up there. Water doesn't seem to be an issue for this year. Place Im worried about flooding bad is everything in the flood plain below the teton, Its got now flood control on it anywhere.
