I'll bite:
Yes I did. I knew that Logan Martin flooded every now and then. And I knew that APCO generates the majority of their power from our dam, therefore, when it doesn't rain, we still loose water. But I really thought with todays forcasting information, those issues would decrease from the past. Wrong!
But...I too enjoy the sunsets. I think I have the best sunset view north of Key West and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm on a steep lot but I need and enjoy the excercise of the 109 stairs from the pier to the house. (133 if you count them all the way to my bed) It just disturbs me that the appearance at least is that APCO treats Logan Martin like the red headed stepchild whenever it comes to lake levels. Per acre, there are far fewer homes on Lay or Neely Henry and they are always full.
One other thing while I have the floor. One of the several excuses they (APCO) give for the low water levels in the winter and early spring, not just on Logan Martin but on other lakes (Martin) as well is the fishing. They say that they wait until the spring spawn where the fish get into the shallow water to lay eggs. Once they hatch, the water comes up, hence, the great fishing. Well....what about the flood? Whats gonna happen to all those eggs that have been laid now? I know several folks that have already caught some fat female bass.
I'm on the main channel so I really don't usually get that much debis. But I will still have to do some cleaning up. My pier is simple and short so usually, just a good scrubbing takes care of the flooding. Might have to replace a few boards. But overall, I have only seen one other house and one other lot that I would even consider trading for. Like I said in an earlier post, just another crappy day in our corner of paradise!
Peace,

P.S. My appologies to and red headed step children that might take offense at the above statement. Purely an expression.
