Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I always liked the character of Grider Hill. Now the politics are a different
subject.................................
Glad you guys are on top of it.

I think GH is the most unique and beautiful dock on the lake.
I hope it stays that way.

hi rick- our slip is 1280- any problem with pulling our boat in the slip- when we left last fall, a piece of floating cable was coming off the bank to
the walkway, and we had to drift over this,and untangle it from the out drives- hope we didnt hurt anything, but would rather not go through that
again-hope to be in the water by end of month! as for grider hill, we have always enjoyed the retro feel of the dock- bring back the swimming pool!

Thanks for the update Rick.
Speaking of cables blocking slips; there’s one behind my SeaRay. Last year I was told that it was a “spare” and would be moved, but as of recent it
was still there. Could you check on that? Thanks!
...And one more question: Is bad planking/decking being replaced?

Rick, sorry if I offended you. I didn't say it was your fault. It's just hard to see something looking as bad as Grider does now and be asked to
fork over an additional 13%. I don't understand why it is in such bad shape. Sunset is a wooden dock modeled after Grider, but it is immaculately
maintained. If people new the money was going toward something worthwhile it would be different. I know you're doing your best. Again, they should
be thankful they have you. As far as I'm concerned you're their saving grace.

thanks for the reply- we will wait to hear from you- just got up, got a bit of snow here in lex. as for looking like a dump, i disagree- sure, there
are areas that are not pristine, but i think the gh crew has always done a very good job in keeping the place looking good- i was also quite happy to
see the wooden steps put in on the point a few years ago- that was a high quality installation, and is one of the things i look forward to when i
think of the lake- may gh be blessed and have a successful season, drama and all!

Spent the night at the dock. Wow it was windy. Our dock was really swaying in the wind. Big swings. From what I seen a all the boats look like they
will be able to get out. They have the new ramp pushed into the water. I told Rick he needed to bring in some warm weather. He assured me that some
was coming in sometime in July or August.

Are you sure they pushed the ramp in or is it just underwater due to rise in water depth.

Capn Ron, you should have told me you were going down.
That way I could have thought about you freezing your butt off all night

I would say they pushed the new concrete in. There is no way it (water) went up that far.
Rick are they going to just add gravel between the two sections at the waterline?
I should have taken a pic. Forgot camera when we walked over that way.
It was nice inside the boat Whitenights. But it was cold outside. Snowy sun. morn.

wow I just assumed it was pushed in. Maybe that is why the forms are still on the concrete. I guess it went up a bunch then. I did take some pic of 76
falls. Ill post one soon.

When the water goes back down would be the time to "Go Find" that treasure that slipped of the boat, the current has removed a lot of the mud exposing
more treasures.

The water was moving very fast. I have been up there several times, and have never seen it like that.

Went down to GHD on Monday 2/26. I walked out to the front docks and noticed sveral boats missing or an entire section of dock missing. Have some more
people moved on? Didn't see Don's 370 sitting there or did he sell it?
Personally I think GHD has the best character on the lake. Reflects a nice family atmosphere and a 50's kinda style.
Better trash pickup on the weekends would be a great improvement.
