Was at a listing near Millers Landing so I had to stop and look.
Not as bad as I expected! There is a ridge across the lake that may keep the water up in some areas.
We will see as the weeks go on.
Never thought I'd be praying for a tropical storm!

I read elsewhere that there are two main sinkholes, Porter Sink near Faulk Dr., and Lime Sink closer to Shuckers. These are separated by a berm/ridge, so some water should remain, until Lime falls out.
I think we need a couple tropical storms and some t-storms like we had last week before things get "better."

I didn't mean it was near Shuckers.....just back towards it. Maybe this will help.

Here are my pics from yesterday. Harmsway, I think ya'll were down there the same time we were. We walked all the way around the "crater". All Carter could keep saying was "This is so awesome!" I'm glad I got to share this experience with him.
It was fun watching the GW get on everybody for driving down there(lake bed) and checking everyone for a fishing license that had a pole or dip net.

Yeah, RR, Savannah said, "Hey, I know that boy!", and wanted to say hello, but somehow we lost track of ya'll during all the commotion.

Looks interesting, how would I go about getting there? What road do you take and park?

Take 27 north to Faulk Dr, take Faulk Dr to the end.
