Prior Lake on Halloween Weekend,,,,

[Terry]

                 We went out and dove Prior Lake yesterday (10-30-10) weather was dandy, vis was good (outside Candy Cove), water was 50 degrees, not bad for this time of year, scored 7 anchors, nice to not have the zoo that Minnetonka is during the summer months. Interesting to see that a 50 pound lift bag will actually lift exactly 50 pounds of anchors but only if its totally full, right to the bottom seam, well, ok more interesting underwater then in type :-\.
                Nothing too scarey either, save for the bikini bottoms in Candy Cove, and the high "particulate count" in some of the bottles of "Horny Goat" beer Steve brought with, is it suppose to look like that?  That brew is coming from Sconnie, so if your use to drinking Lienenkugals, how bad could it be? I saw more beer cans in one dive here then I saw all summer on Minnetonka. Clean-up might be alot easier here, just from the shear volume of junk.
                Prior has a lot of potential for icing if you could find solid bottoms, shes not nearly as deep as Minnetonka. Some Zebra's, not so much on the anchors but more around the openings of the clam shells ( bi-valve clams I think) sticking out of the bottoms, made sense not much metal exposed on the anchors. Nice couple (end of the season) boat dives.           TRINITY
