Low lake levels in Texas

[1pLUs44]

Despite all the bad things about the recent drought, there's been some out of the ordinary good news (or atleast interesting) that has come out of it. Many lakes in the local area where I live are very low. Lake Buchanan in Burnet is so low that the underwater town called Bluffton has reappeared after almost 80 years, I don't know about you guys, but I always thought this stuff was cool:

In Lake Georgetown, the waters have receded enough to find an old Native American Indian skull:

Near Dallas, a slave cemetery has also been revealed by receding waters:

I'm probably going to hike around Lake Georgetown this weekend and see if I can find any cool old house structures or bridges that might be above the water now. I hiked a little bit of it last weekend and was hiking in places where I'd be 20 feet under water if the lake was at its normal level.

I'd be out there checking every stump and rock pile for broken off lures.

There's plenty of mine above water now that I could retrieve now that I think about it.

Near my area our main lake is Lake Lanier, which was flooded over a town, but the water levels are about 15 feet below normal, if it continues  I may too see some old remnants of Lanier town or whatever it was before, i know some divers had drowned diving there cause of the tree's down there snagging and entangling people

Very interesting. We have been getting some rain now but it will take some time to fully recover.

There's supposedly old bulldozers and other excavation equipment at the bottom of our lake that was abandoned when the lake rapidly filled just before it was completed, but the lake would have to be literally dry to find any of that stuff.

There's a point on lake Travis that people push there cars over into the lake to get the insurance money from it being "stolen". A couple of years ago when the lake was down the news showed cars stacked 3 and 4 high.

I read on the news they found 2 cars and a motorcycle in the lake as well.
