| 17. You know what, I do NOT live in a fire prone canyon. But the Santiago Canyon fire came within |
|
ONE mile of my house, and the fire was no longer in the canyon by then. I honestly thought where we lived was NOT fire prone. Until we were told to be ready to evacuate.
The point is, Lake Delton, much like our Running Springs, Big Bear, etc, is a weekend destination for people who live in Milwaukee and Madison. Recreation IS the economy there. The lake having disappeared is a huge deal to those people.

| -Lake Delton in Wisconsin Dells is.... well, gone. |

You know, people said essentially the same thing to us in SoCal when we had the wildfires last fall. |

I wonder how long it will take to re-fill the lake if they just repair the dam and wait. |
