My favorite lake claimed another one....

http://www.ksdk.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=98804

Seems like Carlyle Lake claimes at least 2 or three people per year.

Even thought this happened this past weekend, I just heard about it today.

I don't know what happened, and my old dial-up won't download the video.

But it seems that usually these things happen because somebody doesn't wear a life vest.

I'm a good swimmer, but I don't go boating without wearing at least a floatation vest,and nobody gets in our boat without wearing one either.

Always sad to hear news like this. It's been a long long time since I have been on Carlyle. I seem to recall it has a lot of shallow areas on it and can be rather trickey. I could be wrong, seems like it's been 30+ years since I was there. (I was just a kid)

Jack, there are some shallow spots, and it doesn't take very long to find them if you havent been on the lake much. however it can be rather deep in places. When you learn where to go and what to avoid, it's rather nice. But on a mildly breezy day it can really swell, and even white cap sometimes.

Do you live in the St. Louis or S. Illinois area, by chance? My neighbor has a half brother that lives in the Troy IL. area.

just curious.
