Return of a old Friend: The Meadow Grounds Lake

Nearly 8 years ago the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission began the draw-down of the nearby Meadow Grounds Lake.  After much behind the scenes work, construction finally began in early May of this year and is finally drawing to a close.  I captured these images during a visit December 28 when the construction crew appeared to be nearing the end. 

Refilling is slated to begin this winter continuing into the spring.
