Does anyone remember********>

In early 2010, when they finished dividing up the pool, they isolated the section east of the new launch and drained that section so that they could "dry and burn" it. Then in mid summer 2010, without any attempt at burning, they removed the boards separating the western portion from the easter portions and allowed the western portion to re-fill the eastern section...................effectively reducing the amount of water in the ENTIRE marsh by almost 1/3. Am I the only one that realizes this??? And yes, they lose quite a bit of water due to evaporation but lets not help it out by draining 1/3 of the water out there!!!!!
