18 March 2017:
Roosevelt Lake is getting fuller or the water is rising or maybe the
drought is coming to an end. Whatever it
is, it is nice to see so much water in this lake! We have not seen this much for many
years. It looks like to me that the
water level is at the old dam level before they extended it higher. If that is the case, then if the water is 63%
percent of full the last 20 feet or so accounts for 37% of the water. We had a great kayak today by crossing the
Tonto River at the Bar X crossing in our vehicles and putting in over at Indian
Point. Have put in there a lot. We got to paddle up where there is a rookery
of cormorants and blue herons nesting in the trees. Watched them building nests and many are
already setting on eggs it looks like.
We are camped in an old camp we refer to as Gary’s camp
because he is the one who showed us the campsite many years ago. Don’t see any big 5th wheels or
motorhome anywhere near us!
