Apparently there was some repair work that needed to be done on some part of the dam in Stevens Point so they had to let the WI river go low, very low. While the water level was down they did some major clean-ups of the river bank; you know tires, oil drums, bike parts, a cash register and unsubstantiated reports of several hand guns and a sawed-off shotgun! There were piles and piles on the shore of broken glass bottles, bricks, rusty metal parts and other trash (dad you would have loved walking around the river bank!!). Chris and I went down last night to check it out.
This use to all be water.
Apparently the clams did not get the memo about the water level going down! Poor things.
You can see that there is still some water in the middle to keep all the fishes alive but the water level is MUCH lower, see the boat dock?
They are suppose to be slowly refilling the river this week.
Pretty cool thing that will probably never happen in my lifetime again.
And here is Sam clearly showing so much interest in the lack of a river!
