Here are a few photos from Lake Jocassee yesterday. Right now the lake is about 27 feet below full pool which is about where it has been for most of the summer. My son said there was about five feet of ramp left behind our trailer when launching, so hopefully it won't drop much further.
I don't know if it was the lake level or fuel prices, but there was only about half the number of boats there than are normally there on a summer weekend. The lake level doesn't bother us at all, but some people do seem to be challenged by backing down the long ramp. I saw and heard a couple exchanging many four letter words as he was sitting on a jetski while the girl was trying to back down the ramp unsuccessfully. After 3-4 minutues, she was only halfway down the ramp when she was ordered out of their Hummer so another family member could drive and continue their launching adventure.
