Goo

Today's KC Star
"Algae warnings issued for lakes"
"Kansas has prohibited skiing, swimming, and wading in four lakes  because of high levels of toxic blue-green algae"
"Skin contact can cause allergic reactions, ingesting the infected water can cause diarrhea, vomiting and even death"
Talk about a buzz kill for those interested in selling property in/near those lakes.

Have you seen the goo in the coves here @ WL.  Not blue-green algae but certainly makes swimming unappealing and the lake very unattractive.  All the monuments in the world won't take the place of good lake water.
