Bob - why didn't you park in the parking area instead of in that low grassy area? Embarrased

I have wanted to explore Alder Lake every since I got my boat a couple of years ago. What are your impressions of the lake and how is it for finding seclusion away from other people?

Dave it may have been a while since you were there but Tacoma City
Light has done a nice job on the ramp and is two lanes with a dock
in between. Has a rest area and shower and lot of room for boat
parking but on nice weekends in the summer forget it and no parking
seems to be the order of the day. Yesterday there were four boats
on the lake and two were city guys moving logs and debris. You can
go around the back side of the island and toward the "little Nisqually"
and have no problems hiding. Water was full of logs yesterday but the
lake was high and after the storms of this winter that is expected. The
city gathers this stuff up and burns it. Nice firewood most of it.
I should have shut the aprs off while in the lake instead of when I
turned off the batteries and that would have been more impressive.
APRS tires to send a location every three minutes but you need some
luck with that. Bring her up unless you think the boat would be too
long for the launch ramp.. Bob Heselberg

Boaters world came up with pretty close and I went for it on the spot.
Their size was correct for the five inches and length was 19 and only
a inch shorter than the locker.
They had three for forty bucks but no singles. And their new wish
books are out.
I did notice one thing in the store I had not seen before and that was
a attachment for a burgee pole to hook on a one inch rail. They had
several sizes for different size rails. Thanks to all for your interest
and this one can go to the archives.. Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa
