[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 3919886, member: 6281"] The Ogalala aquifer is large indeed, stemming from NE covering KS and CO I think and slightly into OK. Its deep ground water but not as deep as the base of Optima Lake. They screwed the poodle building a lake dam in the OK panhandle. An old man named Bill Gamle worked at ODOT as a consultant. Retired Army Corps of engineers. He was probably 80 something when I met him and I had gone to a meeting in Boise City to a big realignment project initiation meeting. a 2 day trip because it took 6 hours to get there but after we left the meeting that next morning, I wanted to detour to see Optima Lake, and I was driving the van of 7 folks. So we went north and found the boat ramp, drove down it to a 2 path trail, followed that down and around to what looked like a 1 acre pond. Next day at the office, me and some co workers met at the breakroom for a 15 min. coffee break and Bill would meet us 1-2 times a week. He sat down and (I had heard he was lead engineer on Optima before retiring there) so I said, Hey Bill, I went to Boise yesterday and we stopped off at Optima Lake. He pushed away from the break table and stomped off with his bad limp and started mumbling curse words. I didn't hear all he was saying but I made out "son of a B****" . it was pretty funny but I had no idea he was that sensitive about it. He's passed away now but he was a good old man. [/QUOTE]
