Shaker Plant mapping update

[Lake Travis Scuba]

Datum points were placed today on the upper section of Shaker Plant as a beginning to mapping the site. While the mapping team (LVX, IANR33, ZINC, and Michael) was placing the markers I toured around and came across a large impellor sitting in a pile of timbers around 70', something I haven't seen before.

After the dive we were approached by the boat pictured in the attachment. How this boat stays afloat as a wake passes is beyond me. I especially like the sunroof and speakers mounted on top.

YOU found the impeller between the pipe and timbers?

This was not the same as you have on video. It is at 70', not on the upper flat section.

Robert, I remember seeing a certain barge that should have sunk, too many OLD people with very little clothing.

Yes, I recall that party barge with all those underclothed/overweight passengers. The image is ingrained in my brain....

Great weather for a good dive. Thanks to everyone that came out and helped...
