That was actually pretty interesting stuff. I wish I had seen the whole show.

I remember that happening. We were planning on going fishing there that coming up weekend. My dad came in and told up we won't be going fishin there because the lake dissappeared. I figured he was joking but seeing the news, yea it dissappeared. About a week or two later it came back as fast as it went out. I don't know about how the fishing is now, but before it happended it was an easy lake to catch fish in. If you were not catching fish there that means you don't have a hook on your pole.
