There's a Hole...

in the bottom of the dam. I don't know about the sea. I included the hole in the The Lady of the Lake, based on information from my sister, other Hamptonites and the park ranger but didn't remember ever seeing it myself. If you are in a direct line with it, it isn't hard to see, but from any other angle, it's pretty well hidden. So yesterday morning we took a little hike to see it for ourselves.

According to the ranger, back in the hole is a solid brass door that is opened when they want to drain the lake. He said the last time was in the eighties and they had to bring in divers and a crane to get it open.

The dam, or more accurately, spillway, is beautiful, whether in low water, as pictured above, and the step design is obvious, or in high water, when the design is completely obscured.

This morning the Restoration Run is scheduled by the Friends of Beeds Lake but given the loudness of the thunder and the volume of rain falling on our camper roof, not sure that's going to happen.

The book signing last night was lovely. I got to visit with a number of classmates of my brothers and sisters--particularly brother Bill's class who are having their 50th class reunion this weekend. It was nice to reminisce about Bill with some of his classmates since he has been gone now for about eight years. I also learned some more about the real Lady of the Lake and that she actually lived near the lake.

We have an unplanned morning, followed by a surprise visit to a birthday party this afternoon and an appearance at the Class of '64's social hour. Then back here for, weather permitting, steaks cooked over the fire. Maybe by then, our camping neighbors will have moved their obnoxious pontoon boat  that is currently parked partially on our campsite. Maybe it will fill up with water or be struck by lightning.
