Important things take time, I guess. Today marks a true milestone —- it's been 1,000 days since we lost our dam and our lake on May 14, 2019 — and that means 1,000 days that we have all been dealing with our lake crisis.
We've come a long long way. Many doubted we'd make it as far as we have, but here we are! The new dam is being built, and it is something incredible to see. Solving this issue has brought us together in extraordinary ways, and I hope we can continue that.
Best estimates tell us we still have 461 days yet to go, but we are making the journey! There is a lot left to do, but if our mutual experience has us anything, it is that working together we can solve insurmountable problems. I know we will finish this journey like we started it — with hope and with determination to make our own future,
I've never been more proud to be part of a community than I have with our Lake Dunlap waterfront owners.
It's more than a lifestyle — this community has a “can-do” attitude that has proven to be up to every dimension of this task!
So many people have come together, bringing their unique skills and talents, to get us this far.
1,000 days.
Wow. It has been a long journey, but speaking for me, I am so ready to get the rest of this done!
