Thanks for the boost, Eric. The normal pool will be between 2 and 3 feet over the top of all the tires pyramids (assuming my laser was operating correctly AND that I can read measurements.....uh-oh). The pool level is about 2' right at the timberline. The grade in front of the timberline is steeper than the grade behind because it was scraped during construction. The lesser grade behind will allow the water to creep back into the timber about 20 - 40 feet along the entire shoreline.
FWIW, I hear we got another 1.75" of rain since these last pics taken 2 days ago. Theo The Prognosticator might be onto sumthin'.
