The four armed, one eyed picture taker was punched through a hole in the tree canopy at Sugarbush Hill.
GPS lock was a little tetchy below the trees and power lines. At 324.3 feet, it had 10 satellites (6 are required to really stabilize it), 81% battery left, and plenty to see.
After landing and packing it up, there was golf. Without jackets. In late September. Huzzah!
On Sunday, yesterday as this is written, there were skiers, kneeboarders, and footers sliding on the lake until sunset.
Just before 7PM , Sunday, September 28th, the sun set on Summer. I don't think we'll see air and water temperatures like last week's for eight or 9 months.
Pumpkin Carving is scheduled for Saturday, October 11th. The bar's deck is almost ready.
No Rain. We may have lost a half an inch of lake level, but it was worth it. We did lose almost a million pictures of the lake and that was not worth it. They were stored on another site of our's, wiwebcam.com. The company that hosts wiwebcam.com had given us some beef about using too much space in past years, but this time they meant it and they gave me a date of September 27th to relocate the pictures. I asked them for an extra week to off load the images. I guess the answer was no. Just after midnight on Sunday, September 27th, some drone at dotster deleted 3 years worth of images from the knottlane webcam. Boo! On the positive side they did not touch images stored from the Water's Edge and Memorial cameras. Work is being done on a local storage solution to prevent this from occuring again. **sigh**. There could be some more skiing and footing to be done, but we think that there will be even more boat and pier pulling in the next few weeks.
-Nemo, waterskiing for at least two more weeks.
