Comments:

On Laurel Lake there are a couple of runabout boats in 20' of water.  An older model S-10 pickup and a 1998 Blazer on top of it in 70' of water.  A very old Cadialic 50' deep when the lake is up.  I have personaly been on all of these sites.  I have been told of a house boat and a pontoon in deep water.
