Lake Hartwell
October 27, 2008, Lake Hartwell reached it's lowest level since it was filled in 1959! It is presently down just over 18 feet and we took a ride with our neighbors who then took their boat out of the lake. Our sailboat is still in our cove but it's way down toward where there still is water. You can see the sailboat in the photos near the end of the slideshow as we took photos in the cove.
Look closely near the end of the slideshow to see where a road was located before the lake was created. There are 2 photos of roads and the second is such that you can see it was paved and along the road you will see some rectangular columns where a house once stood! Many photos show "shallow water" markers now sitting up on a hill that was once very covered with water!
Bring the RAIN!
