Crystal Lake--the Lake--Down 3.3 Feet
On the way to school with Steven this morning, we talked to a Crystal Lake Park District employee who had just finished measuring how far the lake is down.
3.3 feet. It's lowest I have seen it in the 47 years I have lived in Crystal Lake.
The rain does not seem to be keeping up with the wind-enhanced evaporation.

The day after I wrote this, the Chicago Tribune wrote a story entitled, "Disappearing act in Crystal Lake under study."
The park district has a $150,000 study from the Illinois EPA for studying Crystal Lake's water quality. Geophycist Timothy Larson sank "insturments into the lake bottom...(to send) electric impulses into the damp sediment to create a computer analysis of what lies beneath," the Tribune reports.
