Destination in view, the trees in the near distance is an island from late April until late January when the draw down commences, now it's accessable on foot if one is silly enough to try:
40+ year old SVEA123 white gas stove still cranking away (one of the best gifts my big brother ever gave me) and some people droppings found on the bottom of the lake (2 umbrellas, fishing gear including a pole rigged and ready to fish with, a lexan fork plus the big find, a pentax digital camera that bailed off a Kayak on 6-21-17 according to the photographic evidence on the happy to be dry again SD card:
(I am attempting to locate the camera's owners and return the SD card with 300 plus images and a few vids)
Morning view prior to pack up and departure:
