Sad tale of difficulties finding missing boaters near the Uinta Mtns. here in northern Utah - and now the bodies that ARE being found with new sonar equipment are from other accidents in years past..... all terribly sad, but maybe there is finally some closure for some.

For later.

I read "Utah lake" and thought hmmmm, they are searching Utah Lake, but stupid me, they are searching a lake in Utah named "Strawberry", and it isn't even a lake, it is a reservoir.

Utah Lake has many unfound bodies, too.

Here in the Florida Panhandle there is a difficulty with saltwater body searches. Between the crabs and numerous other scavengers, you can pretty much give up the search after 36 - 48 hours depending on the time of year (the cold-blooded scavengers work faster in warm weather).

There are places in St. Andrew Bay where you would swear a lot of tiny fish are tasting you while you are wading and still very much alive....but they don't hurt anything....they just tickle.

I'm saddened to hear that Strawberry Reservoir has claimed so many lives in recent years. I have very fond memories of that beautiful area when I was a young man attending college. My parents had a summer home, that I helped them build, in the mountains at an elevation of 7800 ft. near Soldier Creek Dam just seven miles downstream of Strawberry Dam. We drove past Strawberry Reservoir dozens of times on our way to the work site, but never went boating on the lake.

This is as hard as the first time," Tom Lloyd, Austin's father, told the Deseret Morning News. "It's heartache. Pure heartache."

What is wrong with us? these people had closure. We are re-picking their scars. Let the dead lie in their waters.
