Lake Pactola

I stopped by there one time and checked out the museum near Pactola Reservoir. There is at least one town at the bottom. I think most of the buildings were torn down before the reservoir was filled, but there are supposed to be roads, sidewalks, mail boxes, electric poles, and such still there. One thing in the museum that I remembered was an auction bill for selling the contents of the buildings prior flooding the area. I did do one dive out that way at Horse Thief Lake about 12 miles South of Pactola. Horse Thief Lake is about 1 1/2 from Mount Rushmore and its at 5000' above sea level, so I used the high altitude tables. Pactola Reservoir is at 4600' so be smart about diving at altitude.
