I thought moonlake was "bottomless", as in subsurface caves that descend too far to bounce sonar off of. A friend of mine from Highschool drown there. Recovery Divers went as deep as they could, used sonar to go as far as it could go but no hits.

They never did find his body.

Deepest point I've found in strawberry is 212 ft.

Where at?

SC side, over near Stinking Springs. 212ft on the depthfinder that year. I have maps of strawberry going back to before it was a lake, when the US Calvary was stationed there in that valley. I have maps pre-lake raising as well (before they flooded 'Berry and SC to combine them through the narrows).

That's very unfortunate. Could he have been sucked through the dam?

Dunno, wasn't there. Him (Paul) and another good friend (John) were kayaking when it got stormy and they capsized. John tried to help him but Paul panic'd and was dragging them both down. John got free and had to watch him drown a few ft away not being able to help. He then Swam back to camp and told everyone about it.

Search and Rescue divers spent a few days out there looking for him, never found him. IDK who it was that said they couldnt find the bottom in one spot, I do remember the discussion though.

The first of quite a few friends who died before I got out of high school.
