Well, shucks. What can the tourists do now? The US Coast Guard has suspended operations of the tour boat Tahoe Queen until certain repairs are made. Of course, this does not reflect other conditions such as: the lake level is 2.25"inches from a record low which was set in 1992. That number was 6,220.4 feet of elevation. We are at 6,222.20 as of Tuesday. The other cruise ship, The M.S. Dixie is in the dock until spring time getting a refit.
To compound the water issue, current snow pack measurements reveal only 27% of normal in the local Sierra. Unless we get a few more good storms with lots of moist snow, the lake will continue to shrink. Then we'll all have to start drinking vodka and soda; or as the Russkies do: vodka with vodka.
Pray for snow.
