[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 97518, member: 1305"] Yeah that's the way I took his question as well. Over all the difference would be quite small as the dike only protects a relatively small flat area so the acre feet moved around would be low. It would be relatively straight forward to figure out with a topo map and a calculator but that sounds like work. I would bet it would be less then a foot and probably 6 inches or less at the most. Definitely would be considerably less then what stump took. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Yeah plus most all of it has been plowed up for construction over the years and most things lost would have likely been in the top few inches and likely long since gone. The finding of the big anchor out in creel bay would have been fun. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] It's almost always wind driven there. Get a strong sustained wind and it will literally stack the water up on the down wind shore then when the wind switches or dies the water tries to level out. Now if your getting a piss load of new water coming in that will often drive her east at the bridge. Remember back in around 85 we were ice fishing just north up on the west side of 57 and 20 Junction. All of a sudden my uncle pops up off his bucket and yells look at this dumb shit sota!
