Dogwood sure is FUN........

What recently popped onto my radar is something even bigger than the above...by a longshot. The Jefferson Proving Grounds in Madison is actually five or six times bigger acreage wise than the old powder plant is. The state could put in a lake that would surpass Monroe or Patoka in terms of size and potential.

Me and my family will spend about 3 grand this year on the three seperate trips to Barkley Lake. It's about time the state of Indiana gives us our Barkley, even if it's only 20,000 acres instead of 50,000 acres. There's plenty of room in the Proving Grounds to build a sizeable lake that would really BOOST the local economies.

Unfortunately, the vast part of the proving grounds is going to be unusable for many, many years due to unexploded ordinance. Building a lake of that size is far more money than the State could ever think of using for sportsman use. Heck, they can not even keep up the roads we have.

I would be as tickled as anyone for this to happen, but it never will for the reason I mentioned.

Going to the Wood next week for a couple weeks. Hope to get in on some crappie action. With the cooler nights hope temp of lake goes down.
