Lake Placid flotsam

J.R. of East Lake writes in to suggest that SOA members post their pictures of interesting spring flood retrievals. He angled the dock shown here (since returned to owner) which breaks all known records for catch-and-release driftwood on Lake Placid.

On that topic, M.W. of the peninsula writes in to ask if anyone has seen his missing birling log (measures 15' by 18" diam.) adrift (possibly on East Lake) since the flood. Identifiable by bolts and/or chains attached to both ends. If seen, please leave comment below. If unseen, please approach at a slow rate of speed.

We welcome all your photos and tales related to the 2011 flood.

2011 floods: Lost and Found I

There's a new pair o' docks on Lake Placid. These two docks are hung up on rocks and/or tied off on the southern shore of Buck Island across Sunset Strait from Camp Abenaki (60) and Camp Karisma (61). One dock measures roughly 8' by 16' with some linking hardware on one end. The other is roughly a 10' to 12' square with deck boards laid out in a diamond pattern. If either belongs to you, please help yourself to it.

Another, smaller dock is tied up alongside Aller Camp (photo to come).

If you were on the receiving end of flotsam after May's record lake levels, please contact Nicole at LPSOA@northwoodschool.com and we will post pictures of the object(s) here.
