After wandering out a little too late last night I came to realize that hazard buoys' becaons are of no use when they are laying on the ground. I came upon two areas which could have left me smiling for the cameras this morning when the sun came up. (high and dry).

I have a proposal for the HOBOs and the rest of the Lake Martin community. Get enough donations and contributions to purchase some hazard markers and I will assist transporting and erecting them on the newly visable hazards.

There are alot of ideas of how to permanently mark these areas (reflective signs, flashing lights, etc.). And some which are non-permanent since this drought is only supposed to be temporary.

Some sites which sell flashing markers-

http://www.premiermaterials.com/Premiermaterials/model601.htm

http://www.oksolar.com/n_cart/search.asp?cat=Visual%20Signals&subcat=Marine%20Solar%20Powered%20Beacons

http://www.lighthouseman.com/solar_beacon.htm

Cheaper alternatives-
I would even welcome yellow traffic flashers mounted on a-frames
http://www.wctproducts.com/barricade_light_solar_page.htm
http://www.wctproducts.com/plywood_barricade_page.htm
These could be retrieved once the water starts coming up and stored by HOBO officers.


Just something to bring up at the next meeting.
