It isn't "OUR lake" it isn't OVER CROWDED. It has simply changed. It is a public resource to be enjoyed by all.

Although, I agree that there are parts of the lake that are CROWDED.... and I stay away from them during peek hours. I will admit, Weirs isn't one of my favorite places.

However, THOSE are the places that should be NO WAKE and highly enforced. I doubt that any ANTICS to "keep people off the lake" will ever work.

It didn't work with the sound ordinance and honestly, people that enjoy it will always come. If you no longer enjoy the lake the way that it is growing in popularity...... then I understand that too. It is up to you and your families to go where you enjoy being. However, with time everything and every place will EVOLVE. There is no stopping PROGRESS.

That is why we should be concerned with EDUCATING and ENFORCING the current rules and regulations and not be worried about taking people or boats OFF the lake. That is the same as DISCRIMINATING. Like it or not it is. It is illegal to discriminate in this country on religion or race. This is the same thought process........ if performance boating was a form or RELIGION there would be NOTHING you could do about it. THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE.
Don't think for a moment that is out of the realm of reality..... when one group pushes another group..... nothing good comes out of it. However, the more resources are used to try to win.

Not that I am saying it should be used..... I don't like snake handling and that is a form of religion that I don't agree with. I am simply trying to use a wilded eyed view to show a point!!!!

Live and let live. There is NO BASIS for wanting high performance boats or any "type" of person off the lake. It isn't right.... go about your own business and use your energies at volunteering your time to educating people! That will make it better.

However, trying to have the lake the way it was 50 Years ago..... that isn't going to happen! That is like a mother of 4 saying she wants to be a virgin again..... AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!!!
