Hey just
Ft. Peck in Montana, Sakakawea in North Dakota and Oahe in South Dakota are at record levels below Normal. Sakawea is 28 feet below normal. This is just a small Lake. 129 long miles by about 10 miles wide. 3000 miles of coastline.
Why are these Lakes so low, I'll tell you why.
It's to support downstream navigation on the Mississip.
I'd like to convey my true feelings about DOWNSTREAM NAVIGATION but I don't have enough curse words nor is their enough Protons, Neutrons and Electrons in this site to support it.
By the time The Corps Of Engineers get done screwing around this summer to regulate the water flow from the upper Missouri I'll have more water in my bathtub than we have in these 3 major dams.
If I had my way these three major dams would be removed and everything South of St. Louis would be in Cuba.
Lets hear 'em scream about DOWNSTREAM NAVIGATION then. Don't expect any sympathy from Noth Dakotans, Montanans or South Dakotans.
We got screwed on this matter......big time.
Best wishes, Bill
