[QUOTE="geo4061, post: 1182408, member: 81625"] WildRose was right it was not a meteor. The Canadian River Authority built Lake Meredith to furnish Amarillo and Lubbock with water. At first they did a great job managing it for it's water, recreation, hunting,and fishing. They allowed the lake to fill to 110 feet deep and keep it there for years. Everything flourished. The town of Fritch exploded with new businesses. New restaurants, motels, and bait shops were opened. New housing additions opened. The town went from 2A to 3A now back to 2A(That is how Texas rates the size of their school sports.) The lake had five star fishing and held state records for walleye, smallmouth, and flat head. One of the most beautiful lakes you have ever seen. Along came years of below average rain fall and a change at the Canadian River Authority. We need to sell more water. Another stroke of genius from of government. Water levels dropped to 35 feet deep and that did not stop them. They spent millions building a new pad and running pipe where they then took the lake on down to 20 feet deep.For years there were no boat ramps open. The marina was leased spaced and they had it removed. The lake has Golden Algae(attaches to the gills and kills fish) therefore no more fish.The Dam has not had water on it in so long they are worried it would not hold under flood. They allowed too much erosion because of lack of water on the ****. The businesses are gone. The housing develop is gone. Now for" Meredith is back in really good shape". They have allowed the lake to rise to 65 feet deep, extended two boat ramps and opened them, and added a few loading slips. So yes sir it is back and we do not have any inflation and the employment rate is 5%. Our government (Canadian River Authority and federal) is wonderful at trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
