Silverwood will be closed this Thursday and Friday for chemical treatment. They are using "pac 27" which I guess is different than blue stoning. Here's the release from the State website and also a little article about water taste issues due to algae.

Update, the materials needed to do the job did not make it to the lake although the barges used to distribute them did. The application is going to be re-scheduled probably after the 4th holiday. The notices are still up at the entrance but this just came up this afternoon.

But I'd call first if coming a long way, don't want anybody pissed off at me if things change again!

Well isn't that a bummer for all the campers that took the week of the 4th off! Trout plant scheduled this week also so that will either be cancelled or come in on a day off if they don't get it in on Monday (should be last plant of the year I'd think, soon big stripers will go and stay deep).

Thanks for the update, I think.
