Drought

As with alot of the country, we are in a drought here. We had a very dry winter last year, so there wasn't much snow melt to fill the rivers and lakes.

This is McPhee Reservoir, which is where our town gets water. This is the part of the lake where we usually put in our canoes or whatever in the summer.
As you can see it is very, very low.

I don't even know how that boat got out there.

You can walk all the way across in some spots.

This path should be totally under water, up until the dock. I walked out until I couldn't see the car anymore and took a picture from the middle of the lake.

I really hope we get lots of snowfall this winter. Otherwise, we may not have any water next year.
Very sad and scary.
