I barely got my Nordic out of the water for my annual LOTO July 4th trip. I'm not sure I'll be able to launch it and get back on Travis upon my return. It might stay in Missouri.

THis extended drought is driving serious legislative changes for how LCRA manages the lake. No more business as usual. Senators Fraser and Watson are championing these changes as are other organized lake interests. This seems wrong to say, but at this point it may not hurt for the lake to get really, really bad. For the good of the lake long term.
