Down 113 feet, but that still leaves 1,000 miles of shorline and some nice sandy beaches. Should be warm enough for you out of towners...

My motor problems all but shut the door on having the jetboat on Mead this year.
We will still be cruising the lake in the houseboat.
I'll just spend my money on beer instead of gas.

I'm glad by boat runs on gas instead of beer. Gas=$3.50 gal, beer=$9.98 gal...

At the damn the water level is still over 300'. In a lot of the main areas of travel it is still over 200'... Just don't cruise along the shore and you'll be fine.
I was just there a few weeks ago and had a great time.
Hope you have fun. Oh, by the way it will be HOT as Hell.

Doubtful I will drink more than a gallon or two throughout the weekend, so I am still good.
I am pretty beer efficient.

They just posted new lake levels: Lake Mead down 115 or a level of 1114. Thats -2' from last week. At that rate, if it continues to drop it could be down to -117 with a lake level at 1112 or so. Beaches still great, still nearly 1,000 miles of shoreline, water still warm, weather still hot...
