Bloom Lake DWHE Project update: 2008
Wow, Look at the PRICE OF THAT FUEL!!!

April 12th: Our first trip up, and the ice is almost gone! The water looks good!

The price of diesel shot through the roof! We only have until winter on this permit.

Wow, June already, and fuel is up even higher! I think we're going to sit this one out.

Too bad we're still on shore. (150 gallons of diesel is over $700 delivered)

July: We finally pushed her into the water

We're rowing the fuel out in 5 gallon jugs. About 20 gallons a day

August: Work is going steady but slow with all of the weeds.

We're munching our way out there!

Just look at all of the junk we've cleared from the cutter head & pump.
Our pile of spoils we cleared after thing de-water.
September 28th: That's it, we're done for the season

We did get in the water for a bit. Only a few passes for this year.

The water is down a bit from the spring, but it wasn't us pulling it down this year
All put away for the coming winter. I sure hope fuel prices go down (and we get a new permit)
Hard to see, but a flock of geese flying past the boom on Helga.

Have a good winter!
