A photo that Zach from the Courier posted..this is taken at Applegate Lake. The woman who took the photo said they were driving on the lake bottom and looking for the town that was covered up. Let it rain!
Bring on the Rain!

WOW WOW WOW. I knew we had one of the driest Decembers on record but this picture really brings it home. Astounding.

This is at the southernmost part of the lake. (farthest from the dam.) I think it's this low every year, but not this late in December. The link shows the area the photo was taken. (I think)

And, it's a man made lake, so it isn't really indicative. The lack of rain is though. Of course at the beginning of this year through spring, we had enough rain to make us all pruney.

The level of the lake corresponds to the amount of water that has been flowing which corresponds to the amount of rainfall in the Applegate river. And as far as being "a man made lake".... what lake around here isn't? I've driven around on the lake bottom when it was way lower than this. BTW the town the women was looking for that was covered up was called copper and there's not much left of it, if anything to find. I can't remember but I seem to remember seeing some evidence of the town.

I don't know what you are looking at. I don't see anything but trees and water. I think Copper was nothing more than a gas station,post office and a house and not a underwater ghost town like some people claim. I remember seeing footers are something there one time. The Corps of engineers pretty much cleaned everything out as far as I know before it was ever flooded.

I remember there being a murder of some kind there in the early '70's I think, perhaps a family being killed in some gruesome or unsolved manner.

Funny you should mention that. I moved here in 1979 and I loved to go up and fish, hike and explore that are. The streams, Carberry creek, and middle fork were very beautiful to me. Anyway there are a lot of places to camp up there and we were surprised that hardly anyone was ever up there or especially camped.? Until we talked to the locals They were afraid to camp there.

In the early 70's my mom and I went up there before they started filling the lake. I don't remember any evidence of the town then.
