Bonnie and I went out to Hyco Lake with Beth and Scott last week-end. Much better than owning a boat is having friends who own a boat. The weather cooperated nicely for a nice tour of the lake and swim.
Neither I nor anyone I have talked to since had heard of Hyco Lake. Apparently it’s a somewhat of a secret (don’t tell anyone). It’s a very large private lake about a hour north of RTP near the Virginia border and is owned by the power company there. The lake was built for cooling the coal-burning power plant, and as a side-effect the water was pleasantly warm for swimming.
are there fish in the lake or is the water too warm? I noticed that you went with Uncategorized as opposed to Nature.
OK, I’ll switch it to Nature. There were fish present, but the water did look a bit greenish like there was extra algae in it.
