One Half Year
Sat down to pay some bills and realized that it has been exactly six months since the Taum Sauk Reservoir breach. In fact it was on a Wednesday. While much remains to be done, finish rebuilding the state park, remove the old reservoir, clean the lower reservoir, and decide whether to rebuild the upper reservoir, I think life in Lesterville and on the Black River is 95% back to normal.

I guess I'm confused.
I think that there are some people that are hoping for a big law suit against Ameren. The water is only cloudy on the East Fork and no one canoes the East Fork. I've had lots of customers in the pottery this week and no one thought the river was bad. They all seemed to have a good time in the water.
OK. I was in Lesterville all weekend. We came down on Friday and after putting up our tents headed to the beach at Twin Rivers Landing. I was very nervous as to what we would find. What we found was about 50 people at the beach having a wonderful time. You were able to see the bottom of the river with no problem at all. On Saturday we canoed 9 miles. I thought the river was absolutely wonderful and I cannot wait to come back. The water was clean and clear. There were only a few places you could not see the bottom but those were in the deep areas which has always been true. Someone needs to get the word out. The river is BEAUTIFUL still.
