Wazee report

[eelpout]

There are better things to come at Lake Wazee, the people in charge realize that divers have to see changes to keep coming back. They are receptive to suggestions.

The County Board has to approve any expenses for the park. In the past they have been very stingy about spending because the Board members were "Old School".

The park had a rough start with the local people in the early days (Mid 90's). There were a number of divers who had tragic incidents there and that weighed heavily on the people in the area. The present board has new people (younger) in it. We (Divers) are part of their overall plans for the park. We have been asked to present suggestions to the board in the future. 

We are trying to get some people on the board to do a road trip to Gilboa Quarry in Ohio. If you haven't been there, do a road trip and visit the place.

We are hoping by taking the initiative that we can improve the park for divers.  There are plans for more tables ( like the one on site 1) for divers to use. Tables that are designed for divers tanks (singles or doubles).There are plans for more camp sites and restrooms too.

We have been a part of Lake Wazee since it's inception. We don't mind the cost or the drive because we know that they look out for us at their park.

I used to go to Crosby a lot (mid 80's) Back when Bill M was still selling Sattelite dishes out of his store.  For us in the SE MN, we have a choice, Crosby or Lake Superior. The big "S" would be a better dive, but that is a 5-6 hour drive (same as Crosby) for us. 

Wazee is a win -win situation for us. Deep , good vis, platforms, Molly's Grill ;D, and when Keith gets his store up Helium  ;D.

We will be there this weekend!
