[pct-l] Pct-l Digest, Vol 4, Issue 23

[Freiman, Paul]

There was a leak in Florence Dam last year, so they had to drain it, then refill it.  Florence and Shaver are guaranteed to be full by contractual obligations, so that meant Edison, which had normal runout, was sacrificed down to 35%.  
Therefore, it shouldn't be a mudhole this year.

About VVR..... I found it fantastic.  You get a free beer and night in a tent cabin with a comfy mattress bed!  And I found the prices to be very very reasonable.  The thing you have to remember is that for a couple the boat ride and $40 fee for a food box should not be lumped in with the expense of the place.  The food was great!!!  I almost passed it by because of what I heard, and I'm really glad I didn't.

VVR is an interesting place and I?d say definitely worth a visit.  With
regard to the mudhole, they were draining both Florence and Edison Lakes
last year around August or September for some kind of dam maintenance. I
don?t know what the expectation is for the coming season.
