Game Over!
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

Lake was 66.4, last Wednesday around noon. I will check the river temps at Farris and Old Dam Ford.

I assume the shock from such a dramatic temp change would be enough to stress them to death. Maybe they mixed it with some colder water from the gens?

is the river still raging or is it fishable yet? What about clarity?
