Even if the stumps don't get you....there are huge waterlogged logs
running
through both lakes at any depth that USED to be chained down to the
bottom when the lakes were formed....

Hmmm, I guess I should take my SCUBA gear along when I head out on the
lake with the pontoon boat. I might find a couple of OLD logs that
are good for Lumber recycling or maybe I can trade 'em off
for gas money ;-) BTW, I found two local places that sell MARKED gas
w/o the highway tax (-45 cents Gal) for $ 4.91 Gal. One is 87 Octane
and the other (farther away) is 92 Octane. THE local marina is
charging ( $ 1.79 liter, CANADA. eh) = $ 6.76 Gal. for the Hi Test
gas !! Leaving for Iowa on Wed. to P/U the boat.





Those logs have been soaking in lake water since the mid 1930's. I doubt
you can pick them out of the water in one piece anymore.


They may be in good shape. Depends on the water and temperature. Big
business is recovering old trees that sunk to the bottom in the St. Laurence
Seaway. Some fine timber for furniture, etc.

They re pulling up Hundred year old logs in good condition

Underwater Logging
An Eco-Friendly Wood Choice
Using its patented SawfishT technology, Triton's harvesting team
carefully cuts and raises standing trees from the bottom of hydro dam
reservoirs flooded over the past century.In this oxygen-deprived
environment, wood-decaying fungi and microbes are unable to attack the wood,
leaving it in a non-living, but preserved state.

And musical instruments. Some of that bottom wood is old growth wood,
very, very, dense. It's hard to find that these days.

YOU SUCK!!!
I'm glad you said 'drivers in Virginia', which includes all the damn
Yankees, and not 'Virginia drivers'. Virginia is bad between DC and
Richmond. Those of us who live here wish you folks would take I-81 or HWY
301 through MD.
Virginia drivers? VIRGINIA DRIVERS? Don't even get me started.. I
don't like anyone named Carol driving either.. or Ester,. Ester should
not even be allowed out...
The woman's name *usually* is spelled Esther, not Ester. Esther is a
biblical heroine. Ester is a derivative of an acid in which one or more
acidic hydrogen atoms are replaced by an alkyl, aryl, or similar group..

Do you spend as much time making sure your children can read and spell
as you do having them race motorcycles? I doubt it.- Hide quoted text -

Did you get your poorly educated wife who researches stuff for you to
research this?

Harry, I've never had to lie about my wife's education. You however
have. You also had to lie about yours. Remember Yale?
Now, just to prove what a low life you are, what do you know about my
wife's education?

If she married you, she doesn't have any.
