For those of you driving to the national, please be aware of toxic blue-green
algae. If you allow your dog to drink or swim in water with blue-green algae,
it will most likely be fatal. The odds of animals surviving exposure are very
slim, so please take the warning seriously. The lakes we *know* are affected
are Milford State Lake and Tuttle Creek State Lake and Perry Reservoir. It
would be prudent to be aware of this problem.
Some lakes are completely closed to all activity -- boating, swimming, etc.
Here's a link to a story from Topeka TV station KSNT:

Here is a link to an item from the Kansas parks department -- note it is from
July, so is NOT a complete and current list -- just the latest they had on
their website:
