Disappearing lake

I thought the Wise Res. was low . Check out Mountain Lake in Giles Co. Roll your mouse over the photos to see before and after.

That's the 2nd time this century it's happened. Last time wasn't as bad as this year. This year they found remains from an individual that drowned in the 20's.

This is a recurring event, probably due to the lake being located over a fault line or cave. btw - this is the lake and resort where Dirty Dancing was filmed.

We went there before when I was at VT . The video does a good job of explaining why ( geological fault lines )as well as the Dirty Dancing trivia .
