Since we were at the lake last weekend, Louie and I decided to drive our boat down to the bridge and take a look at the damage. Here are a few of the pictures. As we approached the bridge from the north, this is the view. As you can see, it's quite a long bridge....
The now missing section.....
An eagle's nest.....
View from the south side......
That's a view you won't see too often!
Afterwards, we pulled into the Kenlake Marina to get some gas.
I was shocked and appalled at the prices. In town, gas was $ 3.89. As you can see, the marina prices are
$ 4.79.
Talk about a rip off!! We told the attendant to give us $ 100.00 worth (which doesn't even fill the tank) and he rudely informed us to "pump it ourselves" as he was too busy. Alrighty then! Rude and expensive.... Unfortunately, there wasn't anyplace else near by, so we were sort of stuck getting it there. The marina was really pretty, but the service and prices - not so much... Needless to say, I won't be back!
After our sticker shock, we decided to fish a little.....
Had a picnic lunch of crackers, sausage and assorted cheeses ......
Then we checked out a few tranquil coves......
where we found some really neat caves that are usually underwater..........
Said hello to this little guy.....
And then hurried back north before the storm hit.....
There's a race against the calender to get the bridge repaired by Memorial Day weekend. I sure hope they get it done. I feel bad for all the people who normally travel that bridge each day. Now they have to go about an hour out of their way to travel what used to take them 5 minutes. Ugh!
