Weirs Cam Observations

Weirs guy · 07-10-2006, 12:44 PM

I finally had a chance last week to swim over to the area in question to see what the mysterious item was, and am pleased to report, it’s a PILE OF ROCKS.

Yep, I was a little disappointed myself.

Most of that side of the pier is covered with weeds on the bottom, but in this one area about 10’ x 15’ is a bed of rocks covering the bottom in the same location as our mystery item.

In the interest of sustaining speculation surrounding the Weirscam Submerged Mystery Object (WSMO), I propose we find out what exactly is under that pile of rocks.

I still think that, with all the hoopla accompanying new theories regarding the demise of Jimmy Hoffa, we could easily go viral with this thing and convince the government to spend more tax dollars to track another bogus lead. The media circus would mean a nice pay day for local businesses, and perhaps even lead to an episode of Dateline NBC. Book deals. Movie deals. Next thing you know, the royalties are allowing us to fund a three-day ForumFest Extravaganza at Castle in the Clouds, with the Stones as entertainment.

Party on,

But what is buried beneath that pile of rocks is the question!?!?

That would be the rock bass "rock mc mansion".

Nope -- the Lady of the Lake is the official Rock Bass McMansion...

Sorry Weirs Guy, I’m afraid that I have to disagree with you. This summer when I was at The Paradise Beach Club I went over and took a look and there was a very large, flat, square thing in the water, but I could not make it out and didn’t have my polarized lens with me. We finally made it back by today to get a closer look and were able to get a reasonably clear shot of it. It is a sign for Ganong Real Estate. This is taking their slogan of being Waterfront Specialists a little too far!

Here is the link, for some reason I am unable to insert the picture correctly.

IG,

Thanks! That finally covers the mystery for me. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical about the pile of rocks answer. The object seemed to perfectly rectangular and too bright to be explained that way.

Someone better plant something in front of one of the webcams this winter. It's almost time for us to need the diversion to get us through.

Here's hoping that anything planted will be obscured by a thick layer of ice to play on this year, as long as it's gone by early April!

Well RG, we'll have to get together and compare gps coordinates some time!

The sad part is I did an awful lot of swimming to find the wrong object in the water. Oh well, I'm off to visit the pile of rocks and cry.

Rattlesnake Gal · 09-11-2006, 08:14 PM

Perhaps the Ganong sign blew in after your swim?

If I had my bathing suit and goggles along I would have jumped in for a closer look and retrieval. Maybe next time.

Amazing - from the humble beginnings of this thread - way back when - curiosity over a simple square object that my six year old daughter actually pointed to while we were viewing the webcam. Thanks to all who participated in this thread - and to those of you who tried to figure out what that object was. At times this thread felt a bit like that old grammar school game of telephone - with everyones guesses turning into fact....but in the end - I can say it - I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE!!!!

Enjoy the fall colors around the lake - and the snow and ice which will follow - and the spring run-off and rains (may they NOT be as pletniful as this past year) and we will see you all again NEXT summer!
