Lake of the Ozarks

Having had so much rain in our area, they have opened all 12 flood gates at the lake...We went over Thursday night to check it out....This is from a lookout and you can see some of the traffic and people walking out onto the dam to look at it.
Not sure when the last time was that all the gates were opened....it was pretty neat! Loud too!
Lots of fish jumping up out of the water....
Lots of fishing lures that over time have gotten hung up on this barrier cable deal....
Every kind of lure you can think of!
Pigeons roosting in the holes of the concrete retaining wall....they were also lined up on other various surfaces.
This was pretty neat...glad we made the trip over there. I remember seeing most, or all of the gates open once when I was a kid, but Richard hadn't seen it before.
Lots of people  came to look....this was a constant in/out of different people...they had three people directing the parking.  We had a nice evening....A pretty drive over there and back also.

Enjoyed your pictures. Since Dwayne works so many hours, we don't get out much. It's nice to see the dam and flood waters through you and Richard's adventures.
