A DAY AT THE LAKE IS A GOOD DAY!!!!!

WE ARE ON OUR MAIDEN VOYAGE WITH THE BOAT AT DETROIT LAKE. WE WILL SPEND THE DAY WITH THE SABIN/REIGER CLAN...AKA THE REDNECK YACHT CLUB...ENJOYING THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY TOGETHER.
DETROIT LAKE IS A RESERVOIR IMPOUNDED BY THE DETROIT DAM ON THE NORTH SANTIAM RIVER 46 MILES SE OF SALEM. IT IS SITUATED OVER A HISTORICAL ROAD BED OF THE FORMER OREGON PACIFIC RAILROAD!
THE LAKE IS 9 MILES LONG AND HAS 32 MILES OF SHORELINE WHEN FULL.
THE FISH AND GAME FOLK KEEP IT STOCKED WITH TROUT AND SALMON FOR THOSE FISHERMEN.
