Did you make those maps? That is impressive! What software do you use to make
topo maps? I thought the maps you had were store bought and converted. I had no
idea you make them.

I looked at them on the topo map I made. It looks like the vast majority are
OK, but some are under water. For example, fiji shows it is at 430 feet. Long
Island is at 420. Aruba is at 410. Ireland, Mallorca, Ibiza Malta could be in
trouble

Well, if one had time, one could get the map of the lake from the Corps site
and get a map of the MOGA caches and compare them to see if any are in danger.

I wonder if the water is putting any of the MOGA caches in danger.

I just checked the Corps of Engineers website...as of 3 p.m. Mark Twain Lake
was at 640.09 feet.
I have NEVER seen it get this high before...mind you, normal pool is 606 feet.
Amazing. I sure hope everything works out and they can tame this beast.

Hey Cachers!
It is water, water everywhere. Definitely not a good time to cache in Monroe,
northern Boone or Ralls County. The Corps is fighting to save Cannon Dam at
this point and there is more rain to the north and more predicted for later
tonight.
Many of the caches Jo and I hid are surely under water since even the roads
are under water and many closings are in effect. I felt sorry for those of you
with caches along the Meremec, etc., but never imagined we would have this much
water and be in the same situation.
We will get them cleaned up and back as soon as the water goes down and we
can assess which are in need of TLC. In the meantime, forget about this neck of
the woods. (Actually, in many directions you can't even get here.)
To drier days....
Libby
