Tour in the Control Tower of Blue Marsh Lake on April 7

Last Friday we met with Kathy for our second meeting. By the time we got there, it was pouring and we were unable to work in the garden. Then, Kathy introduced us a manager of the control tower of Blue Marsh Lake. He taught us a history lesson about Blue March Lake and shows us how the control tower works and how he is able to control  the water level of the lake.

After the tour of the control tower, the rain stopped. We picked up tools and went to the Sensory Traiil to fix the broken trail rope. It required teamwork!!!
