Cool Map
Anyone that has ever been in my wheel room knows that I love maps. I just found a cool map of the flood area at the Shut-Ins. This map was made with a special plane that was equipped with LIDAR. This is a system that uses laser light instead of radar to make a map. If you don't have a high speed internet this will take a while to download.
River report - Yesterday afternoon the water was up to the third step from the beach at the lodge, so there was no beach showing at all, so maybe this will get most of the silt on its way to Clearwater Lake.
The sale of Wilderness Lodge is going to be completed tomorrow.
Got a comment on this link. It is a large file, 5+MBs so if you have a dial up, click on the link and go get a cup of coffee. It may take a while to load.

ok so I click on your highlighted link and get no image at all. any ideas?
I really want to thank you for the daily updates, I look at your site every day to check up on the healing process. Myself as well as many of my friends used to fish and float the Black nearly every other weekend and visit the shut-ins and other area attractions. Now this all took place when i was in my teens, twenties and thirties as am now 46 and back in those days the "crowds" (nor the big rafts)had not yet invaded the Black. I have not been in black river country for nearly ten or fifteen years. Seems when the crowds got big I started going exclusively to the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers and on occasion to the eleven Point.I believe you mentioned that this whole incedent would spark new interest in the area. Well Ifor one will definately be one of those that must return to black river country to see for myself the scope of the damage and all the recovery efforts that have taken place. Sohere is some proof at least to your theory about this whole ordeal bringing folks to your region that would not have visited had all this not have happened. and rest assured...the current and jacks fork rivers have both gotten crowded over the past few years as well, it just took the crowds a little longer to invade those regions as that area is a farther drive. thanks for all the detailed updates i think a lot of us would be in the dark otherwise. it is nice to find all this info with one click on my favorites list to your site you obviously are putting a lot of effort into this and this is most appreciated! I certainly hope your competition as well as other businesses in the area realizes all the time and effort you are going through helps each and every one them out, competitors or not. As all of your information on the recovery and river condition updates are most certain to attract many would be visitors, as well as many otherwise skeptical regulars because of the breach. Your information is a valuable tool to these folks as it points out that the whole region has not been completely washed off the map! Again thanks for the great job you are doing providing various links to photos and info that would take the average person hours to find instead of seconds. This region is a very precious and unique resource that has spawned many businesses over the years and instead of suffering i strongly believe that they will survive thanks to the combined efforts of all involved and the info you and others are providing, without it we all would be blind to the efforts taking place and from the way things are shaping up just how good the stream conditions will most probably be by the time summer rolls around...Tom T., Centralia, mo.
i still wonder why when i click on the link to the map i get nothing????????
It is a really big file and requires Adobe Acrobat to download. Click on it and wait a few minutes. All I can tell you.
