Beating the heat

By Matt Tuttle

I hope everyone is staying safe during this hot weather we are experiencing. I saw lots of folks enjoying the lake to help stay cool this past weekend.

I don't want to miss out on days on the water due to the heat. We have a very short window to enjoy our beautiful lake. [More]
