Canoe! That's a good one. As long as it has a one inch draft you should do just fine. I don't think more than two inches at the deepest point.

I would bet it's at least one foot in the center of the lake bed and it goes shore to shore.

[Dean Los Angeles]

I KNEW I could get a response out of somebody! Didn't take a tape measure either.

Guess we will have to ask Calloway.

  Just spent some time on Google Earth checking on the El Mirage Dry Lake. G E shows an area that is shaped like an arrow head pointing South East. The long dimension is approx 4.7 mi long. The widest dimension is approx 1.5 mi wide. This whole area is shown as being at 2838 ft elevation. SCTA property is at 2848 ft elevation. Sheep creek starts in the San Gabriel Mt and drain's North to El Mirage. I don't know how much rain from the mountains gets all the way to the lake. Depending on how much time it takes the water to percolate into the ground. It would take a lot more rain and snow melt to get a foot of water on the lake bed. I suspect the surrounding area would not drain much into the lake until there has been enough rain to saturate the sand and cause runoff.

There is a lot of water.No way to know how much without causing a mess of the smooth lake bed.Wind moved water around today and pete flew cover in gyro said it looks good.

[mkilger]

Tiny, you need to get your own gyro so you can fly around with pete. Doesnt that sound like fun?

[desotoman]

Mike,

Here is what Tiny needs. He could check everything out pretty fast with this. And it would be fun too.

[Peter Jack]

Watch it Tom. Anything with a prop is liable to cause trouble.

Pete

[desotoman]

Pete,

ROTFLMAO, I thought it would be OK since it is a boat.

[TINY]

There is no gyro big enough to haul me around.That airboat looks great.

George Calloway sent me a note and said the wind is moving the water around the lake bed. This is good. Chance of more rain in the next couple of days.
