Thread Lake Demise

[ZZ RACING]

Dam breach drains the lake. Thread lake was running IMPBA time trial events for many years.

Talked to our contact at the County yesterday, they're working on it.

We may have to postpone/cancel our Spring event this year, standby for updates...

Let's hope they fix it and get the water levels back up.

Easy to find missing boat parts.

A ton of RC history made at this site.

72 Internats, many time trials records broken. Let's hope this is a temp. setback.

Too bad it's so soft and mucky Terry, it'd be a great time for the county to trim tree limbs that hang in the water or roots, just under the water level.

A truck load of dirt would rebuild the shoreline as well. Ah dreams!

Don’t forget the Northern Nats were hosted there many years ago also. Hope things get rectified.

Boaters,

There are a bunch of propellers and hardware in the lake from years of running races. I know of one Bouchie pipe sitting somewhere around buoy #2. The current may have taken it down the river by now?

If anyone finds my 33K Bouchie-21 pipe off of buoy # 2 there is a reward for its return. It is a Great Pipe.

Bummer,

Mark Sholund

Great news! Just heard from the Murany's that the lake has been full for over a month!

Looking forward to our Fall event!
