It may seem like it sometimes, but life gets in the way of my puddin' stiirrin' someitimes Spot. I think actually we are both right. If you find the book I referenced you will find the picture I refered to in it. It shows the lake bed and a man with a team of horses or mules, cant remember which, pulling logs. It speaks of the lake bed being 'ready for cultivation'. As I said, I wasn't around then, and contrary to the other poster, not many 'dozers' were either.

So after thinking about it I did a little checking and 'ready for cultivaiton' has a different meaning today than it did back then. At that time it was apparently common to leave stumps in the fields, since removal was a laboriuos task. The picture shows a very smooth lake bed at that spot, but it is quite undersatandable that in other areas some were left. I highly recomend everyone buy the book or at least check it out of the library and read it. It is a wonderful resource on the history of the lake. I hope to someday get my copy back, so I don't buy another one. I know who has it, stolen may have been a harsh word. I loaned it to someone and his now ex-wife gave it away to spite me.

But some of the stumps you see today are becuase of shoreline erosion. And I still say no treetops were left. Not being argumentative, but clear cut is clear cut, even if stumps were left. And I assure you, it was clear cut.
