Covid blanket had the wife wanting to get out of the house, so talked her into a little 2-hr drive this sunny afternoon. Went first to Echo.
Ice covering nearly all of the reservoir, with the shallower south end looking more solid. Just had my hip done a month ago; otherwise,
I would have mountain goated down the rocks at the dam and checked the thickness. Guessing it to be 2-3", with a skinny strip of open
water straight across along that east side shoreline. Water level, right to the end of the ramp, looks to be a foot or two higher than when
I drove my Tacoma off-ramp 5 wks ago and GPS-ed some now-visible brush and rock outcroppings.
Rockport still blue & wet.
