Just a heads up concerning Wahweap bay and the marina.

Looks like they are getting ready to raise a couple of sunken boats. The story is that they will be starting with a houseboat that sunk in the marina area, and then move on to the one that sunk near the pumpout. And the Wahweap webcam is still stuck.....

Tragic losses, cool recovery rigs

Tragic losses, true enough. And I would really like to watch those rigs at work......

All that remains of the sunk houseboat now is what appears to be a containment boom, pump outs are fully accessible.

Stateline Main ramp is back to normal non-motorized and small craft launch/retrieve.

Now that the houseboat is gone, does that mean that they will finally fix the webcam? Ha

On their webcam site page they say it's because of staffing shortage. Seems like that's the scape goat for all lost or diminished services. Chuck.

No one seems to like their jobs up there. The last people I ran into who seemed to be enjoying their day were a pair of Utah State patrol I chatted with at the Maverick. I thanked them for being out and about helping, and pointed out that I hadn’t seen an NPS boat in four trips. All the federal employees seem miserable. The feds tend to be scraping the barrel during full employment like we have now, and that is part of what we are seeing. What staff they have aren’t lighting the world on fire, and management rarely cares beyond the next meeting.
