Wow today is check the Lake Mead water database and a -6.38 to 1068.75. Is that an error or does anyone know what's up with the big drop all of a sudden??

Ya I just saw this too. is it possible for Lake Mead to drop 8 feet in just 2 days...on Memorial Day weekend. The launch ramps must be a zoo[pirate]

Digging down in the Bureau of Reclamation water management site I see Mead elevation at 1077.45 approx.

Still, I'm not going near a Mead ramp today or tomorrow.

This was a verified error by NPS. If you have Facebook, find the page "national park service lake mead." Tons of good info.

The conspiracy theorist in me finds this "error" rather interesting.

Thoughts?

RONTFLOL.....maybe that's where we are going with the water levels.

i kind of like fishing at these levels as it opens more structure to be targets. Be careful driving around everybody!
