Brian, Being week-enders we can not make it but you know how we feel & anything we are able to do to help we will. We were up last week end fishing & there had to have been well over 100 boats that past our house on the river.

Also, I saw your E-mail about boat launches & wanted to point out that there is a dirt road with a large area for parking off of Growler Rd. The boat launch is directly across from our cabin & we would enjoy watching activity over there for many years. Things like people riding horses, fishing, camping, playing music, hiking, hunting, training there dogs, etc, etc.

Once the DNR built the new boat launch the DNR put a gate up & closed off this area, being as we have lived across from this boat launch & never observed a problem (only positive events) I do not understand why they closed it off. NOW no one uses the area, if we are paying tax dollars for this property as well as the DNR's salary's why can this road & boat launch be re-opened for the public & all people to enjoy.

When I get a chance I'll scan the map & show you where this launch is located. Once again, thx for all your help it sounds like we may finally get something accomplished.

Also, the WATER LEVEL as observed last weekend was EXCELLENT !!!! Thx
again,

=Unfortunately, the water level last weekend was about 15-18 inches over the DNR summer max; higher if we consider we are still in the DNR winter operating orders until May 1st.
