I haven't seen it posted here, but I just read that the Kings River has been closed to all boating and swimming by Fresno and Tulare counties (below Reedley) because of the high water level, making room for anticipated snow melt, and the low water temps (44*) coming out of the bottom of Pine Flat. I heard that these restrictions could be in effect for some time.
I also read that Bass Lake would be implementing a 40 mph speed limit this weekend along with any future holiday or other weekends when the sheriff dept decides the lake is too crowded. During these so-called "red flag" days, because of the red flag displayed at the ranger station, officers will have radar guns to cite speeders.
Life goes on, but it sure gets more complicated.
