Just out of curiousity, what are or were the towers?



They are overhead electrical lines that cross the lake , Something like these.

There's boulder/rock piles at the bottom of every tower that were put in place in an attempt to stop erosion back in the day.

I seem to remember the rocks sticking above the water level once apon a time , The top of the rock piles 20-30 feet across or am I dreaming ?

With all the pictures online you would think there would be one of the DL towers.

The towers can be a real whorebag. I have a new plan for them this summer that I hope will be pigful.

I've been scheming on a plan for them too, I think I got it. Hopefully I'll be on the water on the first week of June. Over
